I just started working with first graders and I look forward to getting to know them better. We review math facts each session (addition and/or subtraction). We have or will be practicing these skills: make 10, number bonds, subtraction strategies, place value, compare/order numbers, word problems, 1 more/less, 10 more/less, and more. 

To support students who learn visually or who are tactile learners, we've used number dots, number lines, fingers, pictures, etc. 

 Here are some fun online games to keep their math skills strong:

The 2nd grade students have been working on 3-digit addition and subtraction skills. This is a great time to review their previously learned 2-digit operation skills. We've also worked on word problems to help us better understand and break down these types of problems when we see them. Students should continue to practice 2-digit and 3-digit operations to strengthen their skills for next year.

The third grade students have been continuing the strengthen their multiplication and division facts. Students used models, number lines, repeated addition, skip counting and memorization to help them. We will continue to practice these facts for months to come. To continue their practice  check out some of the games below:

Students have been maintaining their multi-digit multiplication skills during our remediation sessions. These skills have also helped them while learning their current content fraction skills. We've spent time practicing simplifying fractions, making equivalent fractions, comparing fractions, etc. To practice at home, check out some of the games below:

While in their math classroom, 5th grade students have been working on their fraction skills. They have recently added fractions and mixed numbers. This topics requires an understanding of common denominators, strong addition skills, and simplifying fractions. Practice adding fractions/ mixed numbers at home in the kitchen! Plenty of recipes use fractions/mixed numbers. If your child needs more practice, take a look at some of the games below:

While in their math classroom, 7th grade students have reviewed proportions and rates to prepare for solving percents. Percents are a great topic to incorporate at home. Have your child calculate the tip next time you're at a restaurant. If you have a coupon or there is a sale at a store (10% off, 5% off with your target red card, 50% off, etc.) see if your child can find the percentage.Take a look at some of the activities below if your child needs more practice.

While in their math classroom, 8th grade students have been multiplying then factoring polynomials.. Since this chapter has a lot of new material, students may need additional practice at home to really understand the concepts. If there is ever a time where you child is struggling, please reach out and I will share videos, tricks, games, worksheets, visuals, or any other resources that would be helpful. Chances are you as parents haven't even looked at a polynomial since middle school/high school. I will gladly help!
