11/3/08 All Kinds of Math!

Part 1 (Daily Reading Homework): your child needs to read at least 20 minutes every night. Below, please record what they read, how long they read for and then initial it. Thanks!

Part 2 (Comparing Collections of Coins): Today’s math lesson requires two things to be done. First, the kids need to be able to count collections of coins. Next, they need to compare those collections. Some kids are still confused by the symbols for less than, equal to, and greater than. Please check your own student’s understanding. The journal problem (#10) has your student drawing a collection of coins that adds up to a value that is less than 55¢. Have them draw it and add it up.

Part 3 (Math): Drops in the Bucket Math: we are reviewing many of the math facts that we have learned to date: comparing numbers, patterns, adding and subtracting, how many in all, money, place value, time, and shapes.
When working on Drops in the Bucket with your student please constantly ask them to explain themselves to you. Say things like: “How do you know that?” and “Tell me why.” when they give you answers.
On problem #3 the students are asked to do some double digit addition and subtraction. I’ve taught them to re-write the problems “up and down” and then solve them.   Problem #9 deals with telling time. Many of the children don’t know how to tell time on a clock with a face yet. If this is still hard for your child read the face to them, “7:10” and then have them write the time on the digital clock. Please work with your child on telling time!

Part 4 (Minute Math): Minute Math is a daily activity. It is not due until Friday.
