What Are We Learning in Math?
2/17/2026
Hello first grade families,
We wrapped up Chapter 5 last week and completed our test on place value. The students did a great job—I'm so proud of their hard work!
We will now move back into our Do the Math curriculum for about 10 lessons as we continue building our understanding of place value. As I’ve shared before, place value is a foundational (bedrock!) math skill and an essential piece of becoming a strong, confident math thinker.
Thank you for continuing to support math practice at home!
Your child will benefit greatly from regular practice with addition and subtraction facts. This is something that can easily be done at home! You might try kid-friendly math apps, websites, or games to help build fluency. Flashcards are also a simple and effective tool.
No matter what you choose, a little extra practice goes a long way. Thank you for partnering with us to support your child’s learning!
