Starting next week, everyday students will be taking a fast math test. These are to help students to memorize their addition and subtraction facts. My goal is to have students all pass off their addition (1-9) and subtraction facts (addition facts 1-9 backwards) before Christmas break. We will be having a reward party for all students who reach this goal. It is very helpful for students to have their facts memorized or to know mental math skills to help them find the answer quickly. I will be teaching them many mental math skills to get answers quickly. Next month we will begin triple digit addition and subtraction, if students already know their facts, it makes it so much easier. Please work with your students at home to memorize their facts. A lot of students have them memorized already from 1st and 2nd grade, great job! Some recommendations are to learn doubles first (8 + 8) and then then continue with doubles plus or minus one. If you have any questions or need ideas to help at home please let me know. Thanks!
