This week we are learning about…
MATHWe are working on problem solving with adding and subtracting.
Counting On: No matter how big the number, counting up is fast
5+3=8
Say 5 then 6, 7 ,8
Counting Back: Start with the larger number and count backwards
8–5=3
Say 8 then 7, 6, 5, 4, 3
Making 10 or Friends of 10: student will know their 10 facts
1+9, 2+8, 3+7, 4+6, 5+5, 6+4, 7+3, 8+2, 9+1
Doubles for subtraction: Any number minus itself equals 0
8-8=0
Addition Doubles: Adding an identical number to itself, such as 8+8.
Neighbors: Doubles + 1 ex.: 7+8 (7+7=14, so 7+8=15)
Hidden Ten: 7+5 I know that 5+5=10 and there are 2 leftover, so my
answer is 12 (This strategy was introduced for the 1st time today).
We will continue to practice all of these strategies
Language Arts- We are working on character traits. Our high
frequency words this week are: did, want, says, had. We are also
