Math Overview:
*Please make sure to look at your child's homework every night. It is an exact replica of that day's lesson and a critical resource for practicing and retaining!
*In Math, we will rely heavily on the students being able to explain the WHY and HOW of concepts, not just being able to have quick computation skills. This is a long and detailed process. As you will see, much of the homework has open ended responses that the students are not quite used too. Because of this, I will continue to teach students how to not only solve problems using traditional application, but also be able to write, explain, and teach to others HOW they arrived at the answer. If they can explain it, they will retain it!
*An important part of being able to solve multi-step problems is to be able to compute fast facts with accuracy and automaticity. Each Friday, students will be given a multiplication fast fact check. They will record their progress on a tracking sheet that will stay in their homework binder. Eventually, students will move to division fast facts. The goal by December is to complete 100 fast facts within a 5 minute period (they are NOT graded on this).
