Things we are working on in math...

  • Addition (3 + 2 = 5) - Can you objects/pictures, etc. They do not need to memorize them.
  • Subtraction (8 - 5 = 3) - Do not work on subtraction if your child is not confident in addition. Can you objects/pictures, etc. They do not need to memorize them.
  • Telling Time to the Hour - If your child can tell time to the hour work on telling time to the half-hour.
  • Naming Coins and their Value - Empty out the piggy bank/wallet and have your child group the coins together.  Point to a group of coins and have your child tell you the name of the coin and the value of that coin.  When they are ready you can have them mix coins and tell you their value.  (Do not use quarters)
*Help reinforce these standards with your child by working on them at home.
