Part 2 (Counting Money with Corn Sack Count): Friends, it is time for your student to learn how to count money! Let me say that money counting can be a bit difficult some some students so I need all the help I can get on this one! Please, please, please work with your child on counting money at home! Tonight’s homework involves counting pennies, nickels, and dimes. I suggest that you find some real coins that your leaner can work with as they count coins. One more thing: if your little one gets frustrated don’t let it bother you too much... we’ll all be counting coins and making change in no time.
Part 3 (Money Counting Math Mat): There is a game on one side of the math mat that we played in class today. It would be worth getting some coins out and playing it with your student. Also, go over the Home-School connection on the other side of the mat with your child and have them do the activities given.
Part 4 (Minute Math): Minute Math is a daily activity. It is not due until Friday. The grade on Friday is calculated like this: 20 points per day Minute Math is done at home plus one point for every correct answer on Friday (a student who did their Minute Math every day and got 11 correct on Friday would get a grade of 91: 80 points for the days worked at home plus 11 for the right answers at school). Have your child finish as many of each day’s problems as they can with a pen in 1 minute. Mark how many they got right in 1 minute at the bottom and then initial. Then have your child finish the unanswered questions with a pencil. This needs to be done every day but does not need to be turned in until Friday. If you have any questions about minute math please contact me.
