Please plan on coming! Ms. Tetz will have many games etc for you to explore that all support math learning at home. Most of our grade 4-6 students struggle with grade 2 subtraction of numbers under 20. Example: 15-6 or 17-9 or 11-4. Asking your child questions like this while driving, would be helpful. If they can do all those basic facts, practicing multiplication and division questions in the car is the next step. In math, automaticity of basic facts is essential for all higher-level math. During our initial numeracy testing, it became clear that NUMBER LINES are difficult for most students. Division 2 students struggle putting fractions on a number line as well as large numbers (1/5 on a number line of 1/1 or 6/7 on a number line of 1). Division 1 students struggle with putting a 3 on a number line of 10 or 25 on a line of 100. Please, take some time at night to see how your child is doing with a number line. All you need is a piece of paper, draw a line, put arrows on each end (because they keep going), put a 0 on the left and a different number on the right and … have fun asking your child what goes on the number line. You decide!

Playing Cribbage with your child/ren instantly teaches them addition facts up to 31 as well as strategy and probability.
