Also, we need to be memorizing our Math Facts. The class needs to be "comfortably" adding and subtracting math facts up to 20. The students know the strategies to help solve the problems, ie, using doubles, using 10's, zero, etc. but now need to work on knowing the facts. Flashcards are great, playing addition and subtraction games with a deck of cards is also a fun way to "play/learn" the math facts. It's really important to memorize these math facts. It will make addition/subtraction with regrouping, multiplication and division much easier. Please work with your child.
I sent home laminated "doubles" math cards a few weeks ago. We will be having weekly quizzes on the doubles and other math facts on Friday mornings.
