Mrs. Krajewski's Math Update
April 20, 2015
What's Going On?
We have one week behind us and I am really enjoying getting to know all the students better. We have 24 amazing students and the class dynamic seems very cohesive. We are spending time reviewing some second grade skills in chapter 2 and will be completing that chapter this week. Starting in Chapter 3 material is newer and the pace will be slower.
xtramath.org
You will notice your child has a sticker in their assignment notebook that states your child's use of xtramath last week, and their progress. If a child is new to this program, they will start on addition, but will fly through it if they know your facts. One student this week did it 5 times and is onto subtraction because she really knows her addition facts. I assign it four times per week. Last week a letter came home with log in information.
What is the Problem?
I have introduced a process for problem solving. We will be learning many different strategies to solve problems. The first strategy we are using is drawing a picture. Next we will be finding a pattern and using a table.
