The 2nd grade students have been working on their addition and subtraction skills. We have practiced our facts during our warm up activities to strengthen our math skills. We reviewed place value concepts, which will help them better understand 2-digit operations. We have been focusing on 2-digit addition since they are learning that in class. 

Here are some fun addition activities online to check out:

The third grade students have been working on their 3-digit addition and subtraction skills. Most are doing very well with their addition skills but could use additional practice with subtraciton. Borrowing and regrouping can be tricky for students and easy to make a mistake with. To continue their practice  check out some of the games below:

While in their math classroom, the 4th grade students started reviewing and practicing their multiplication concepts. This is a great time to review multiplication facts! These facts will help them when they are solving larger multiplication problems (and with division, fractions, and area). We will continue to practice this skill for the next month or so. To practice at home, check out some of the games below:

While in their math classroom, 5th grade students have learned how to multiply larger numbers and just started to review long division. Both skills have many steps in the process and require practice. During our remediation sessions, we've practiced our multiplication skills and ensured the proper process was being used. With many steps, it is easy to make a mistake. We will continue to practice these skills in our sessions and in their class. Additional practice at home would be helpful to maintain these skills.

While in their math classroom, the 7th grade students have been solving equations and inequalities. This concept will be applied in the first 5 chapters of their math textbook. They will solve equations, inequalities, equations with decimals, and equations with fractions. Understanding how to solve equations and solve for a variable is a foundational skill. Students have access to a calculator to help with the computation, but understanding the steps will require practice. To strengthen their skills, check out some of the actiivities below:

While in their math classroom, 8th grade students they have reviewed their equation skills, combining like terms, and solving inequalities. These are all skills that they've learned before. They will begin looking at functions and relationships which they will build on for a few months. 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.
