Grant Math Month
Math Month has arrived! Throughout the month of February, children are being encouraged to brush up on their
problem solving skills and their basic fact practice. Attached you will find a grade specific math problem for your child to
solve. Every Friday during the month of February, your child should turn in one problem solving sheet (due dates are
listed at the top of each page) and a fact practice slip to his/her teacher. Those children who participate will be eligible
for “Math Monday Spirit Days”. In order to participate in the planned events, your child must turn in the problem
solving page and the basic fact practice slip by the designated date. To be considered eligible, sufficient work must be
shown on the problem solving page. Children can write an equation (number model), draw a picture, write words to
explain their thinking, make a list, draw a table or graph, or use any other strategy that may help them be successful.
Children who participate in all 4 weeks of math month (problem solving AND fact practice) will be invited to our Math
Month Celebration. Thank you for supporting the learning that is taking place in school. Enjoy Math Month!
**If you misplace a Math Month problem solving sheet or the fact practice slips, they can be found on the Grant
Elementary Website
