Homework Help and Hints!
Math fact practice- Why?? Second graders need to KNOW their addition (and eventually subtraction) facts by memory. As we move into more complex math skills (i.e. addition and subtraction w/ regrouping, multiplication, etc. ) the student will need to worry about the steps to solve the problem, not trying to count on fingers to find 4+9. We have set the goal of 95 problems correct in 5 minutes on both addition and subtraction facts. We have already begun working on that goal for addition here at school. In the coming math lessons, the 100 facts in 5 minutes will be a test grade. Please keep practicing at home- memory is the goal!
