**iReady Classroom Math has a total of 5 Units that we will cover throughout the year.
Unit 1: Numbers within 20 (addition, subtraction, and data)
Unit 2: Numbers within 100 (addition, subtraction, time, and money)
Unit 3: Numbers within 1,000 (place value, addition, and subtraction)
Unit 4: Length (measurement, addition and subtraction, and line plots)
Unit 5: Shapes and Arrays (partitioning and tiling shapes, arrays, even and odds)
*Within each Unit there are a number of "Lessons" that cover each concept. Each lesson is approximately 5-7 days in length and consists of 3-5 "Sessions" - which is the terminology for what is taught daily.
*Weekly homework will include extra practice from the current unit's Lesson/Sessions to help students solidify concepts
*Math Challenges: In second grade, by the end of the year, students should be able to complete about 100 facts of single-digit addition and subtraction facts within about 5-minutes to show they have the immediacy piece with regard to their “fast facts.” This helps them immensely later on with harder math concepts and in third grade as they begin multiplication. Every day when we start math, we start with a math challenge where we set aside 5-minutes for students to practice their fast facts. Every student started at “Level 1” which is 50 facts of single-digit addition facts. If they finish that within the 5-minute timeframe, I will grade it. If they get all the facts correct, they move on to the next level, Level 2 (50 facts of single-digit subtraction). If they finished, but they missed a few, we will write that to them with a little note so they can keep practicing that level until they master it. And so on, and so forth. If students do not finish their math challenge during the 5-minutes, they put it in their math folder to finish during our “catch-up” time, so that way they are still getting extra practice. This way we can help intervene when students need additional support and can still help challenge the students who are moving through the levels quickly. This is why you might see lots of math fact papers coming home in students’ Wednesday folders.
