Math

You will notice that there will be lots of videos, optional worksheets, and teacher made videos during this unit. For most first grade classes in the district, this is the first time learning about adding tens to a 2 digit number. This skill is a major foundational skill in first grade. A few classes were working in this unit when long distance learning began and others had completed the unit. Regardless of where your student left off, the lessons are important to complete. Have fun learning about adding 10s to 2 digit numbers!!! There a tons of hands-on options during the next 2 weeks.
