Knowledge of math facts is very important for your child’s math success. Your child must be proficient in addition and subtraction in order to be successful in math for second grade and beyond. Because of this, your child will be participating in addition and/or subtraction activities every day. The children will also be given an opportunity to use a computer program called XTRA MATH. It is a program they can also use at home.
I will be using Guided Math to teach mathematics this year. I will incorporate direct instruction as well as giving the children the opportunity to work independently, in pairs, in small groups and one-on-one with me. We will use many manipulatives, dice and cards to help students master the math standards. Of course, there will be paper/pencil activities as well.
