What Are We Learning in Math?
12/1/2025
Hello first grade families,
We are continuing our Do the Math curriculum! This program introduces students to a variety of strategies for solving math problems. Many of these strategies are considered mental-math techniques, and they help students build on what they already know. By practicing different ways to think about numbers, students strengthen their current skills and set themselves up for future math success. We will continue Do the Math until Wednesday of this week. On Thursday, we will jump back into our regular curriculum. We will start Chapter 4 which covers new strategies for subtracting.
Students will continue to bring home optional homework pages so that you will know what they are learning and to give you the opportunity to help reinforce what they are learning in school. Thank you for helping your child with this! They benefit so much from revisiting what they have learned at school with you at home.😃
Additionally, your child will benefit greatly from regular practice in order to learning their addition and subtraction facts. This is something that you can definitely do at home! You can search for apps or different websites and games for them to become more fluent with their math facts...flash cards are also a great tool to use. Whatever you do, they will be greatly helped! Thank You!! :)
