Part 2 (Subtracting Two Digit Numbers): We are starting our unit on subtracting with re-grouping (subtracting with carrying to all you old timers... like me... out there). Please check out the math mat that your child brings home today. Ask them to discuss the regrouping game that they played and check their understanding of the concept. Have them do the two mental math problems (#s 1 & 2) and then the add on to subtract problems (#s 3 & 4). As a reminder, add on to subtract works like this: 15-7=____ 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15... looks at fingers... 15 minus 7 is 8!
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 #8 the students are asked to understand that 1 ten and 1 one is the same as zero tens and 11 ones. The cubes on the left are equivalent to the cubes on the right. 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, “4:55” and then have them write the time on the digital clock. Please work with your child on telling time! Please let me know if you are starting to work with your child on telling time on an analog (face) clock and how it is going. Problem #10 involves shapes and following directions.
Part 4 (Minute Math): Minute Math is a daily activity. It is not due until Friday.
