Math Curriculum Corner
We are currently working on setting up our Math Notebooks. We will then work on some lessons that will allow us to be successful once we start on chapter 1. I call these lessons, chapter zero. In this chapter we will look at place value, adding and subtracting fractions, divisibility rules, and adding mixed numbers.
Next Test: Chapter 0 on 8/27, Tuesday
We are starting timed tests this week in Math class. They consist of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division for which they will have 4 minutes to complete 100 problems.
The results will be placed into FOCUS. As they take them and pass them, they will get a 100% for a grade for that operation. We will continue taking them throughout the nine weeks (~5 per week on different days). If you are looking for additional ways to support your child in this endeavor, I have a link on my website that is called Xtra Math which does a great job of helping out (here is the direct link: https://xtramath.org/#/home/index) Also I have used with great success triangle cards (here is a link to the ones I use with my own personal kids, but if you search around, they come in different sizes, operations, and prices https://www.amazon.com/Star-Right-Triangle-Multiplication-Double-Sided/dp/B07B4CWLX6)
You can also print out practice sheets from this site: http://www.math-aids.com/Multiplication/Times_Tables_Timed_Drill.html what is really neat about this site is you can personalize the facts. For multiplication , division and addition we are only using single digits. Let me know if you have any questions…thanks for your support!
