3. This week's math in review:
We have been learning about adding a group of two digit numbers together. Remember that we have learned different strategies to add double digit numbers because different brains learn different ways!

Begin with 2 dice and a whiteboard or piece of paper.
Roll the dice to make a 2 digit number.
Roll 2 more times to get two more numbers.
Now add the numbers together!
D. Fact fluency is VERY IMPORTANT when working with double digit addition. When your child knows facts fluently, that means he/she is able to determine the answer to an equation with sums to 20 with automaticity. (This means knowing the answer automatically without using his/her fingers, manipulatives, or counting on.) It is imperative that all second graders practice fact fluency for a minimum of ten minutes per day. Please spend 10 minutes practicing fact fluency on XtraMath. (10 minutes/day) You may also consider having your child practice with flash cards or another preferred tool for additional practice.

Now it's time to get creative, create, and teach! Choose a way to show/tell what you have learned about your animal.
How would you like to share all you have learned? You could write a skit, make a puppet, build the animal and habitat with legos, paint a picture, make a poster, write a poem, or any other creative idea you can think of. The most important thing is you choose something that is fun for you and exciting for your brain!
Find a way to include information about your animal including its habitat, what it looks like, what it eats, adaptations and any other important facts you learned. This information might be included in your skit, on your poster (or whichever method you chose), or can even be shared in a video!
