Things to Remember
*Keep practicing your math facts every night! You're doing a great job and we can see vast improvements everyday!
*There is ONE STORY PROBLEM to complete every night for homework. Students must show their work and EXPLAIN in detailed, complete sentences, how they got their answer. We go over it in class BEFORE they take the problem home, then share student answers and explanations the next day as a whole group. Proving there is more than one way to solve a problem!
*We have a "Spiral Math Quiz" at the end of every week. Spiral Math constantly reviews concepts for the state math test. It builds upon what they learned the previous week, while reviewing the basics. Study sheets come home the night before the test (which is usually a Thursday).
*Akron Public Schools has purchased a new math curriculum series for grades K-12. This new series is aggressive in teaching math concepts to our students. It also features mini videos to watch before each lesson to give students a good visual of what to expect. You will be receiving info on how to log on and access this new curriculum on the Internet.
Thank you for working hard! Mrs. Butcher
