Math
In Math we have been focusing on addition to 20 using the
strategies listed below:
Making 10
Order of Numbers
Looking for Doubles
Doubles +1
Doubles +2
It would be great practice for the students to be playing
simple math games at home to help speed up skill and confidence with these
strategies. Dice games, card games and even computer sites are great practice!
Game for this week:
Have your child roll 3-4 dice. Get them to put them in order
of how they would add them together and explain their thinking to you. Are they
using doubles or near doubles? Are they looking for pairs that make 10?
