On Friday, we worked on a Study Guide for our first Multiplication chapter test. For those who scored 95-100, that is their test score and they won't need to take the test. For those who scored below 95, study guides were sent home so that mistakes can be reviewed. Many of the mistakes were on problems involving addition or subtraction. The test will likely be on Monday, so please take a little time to review.
This week in Math, we will focus on multiplication facts to 5. Your child should be working on memorization for a few minutes every day at home. Remember to focus on learning a step at a time to keep it from being overwhelming. Soon, we will begin regular multiplication fact quizzes to assess mastery.
