Math Intervention News
November / December -- 2023
It's lots of fun family time coming up next week and in December. We will take a break from being at school, relax, and have more time to dive into hobbies, sports, interests, and talents. To go along with all the fun, I wanted to bring some more FUN to the front by reminding you of Math websites that are easy to hop onto and go.
Please do not hesitate to let me know if you have any questions getting started on any of the websites listed in this newsletter. I want to be sure that students are enjoying working with Math concepts.
For the first part of the year, I enjoyed teaching math skills such as number sense, place value, addition and subtraction (using the open number line, the ten frame, and the "counting on" strategy), using "friendly numbers" to solve equations and word problems, show your thinking steps, multiplication and division.

Multiplication Facts and Division Facts
Becoming fluent in basic multiplication and division facts is one of the core essential Math skills because it is connected to so many other Math skills. The Reflex App provides a fun way for students to practice multiplication and division facts. It keeps track of your child's progress.
Reflex is a Districtwide App that students have had access to in the classroom and at home during the Summer. Students can access Reflex through Clever on our District website.
Starting in Third Grade, teachers take a big jump into learning multiplication and division facts. Continuing into Fourth and Fifth grade, students see how knowing their facts smoothly and quickly is so very important when learning other math skills such as figuring out a common denominator when adding and subtracting fractions.
Reflex has addition and subtraction facts practice also.
