 Math
Parents, please continue to work on the number
system with your children. Continued reinforcement with place value
(up to millions) will greatly help them. Example: Using the number
8,347 ask your child to tell you what place value each digit is in,
or ask what place value the 4 is in
* Answer (tens). Asking the same question two different ways may
help them make a better connection. Also continue to work on
counting by 2's, 5's, 10's & have different starting points.
Example: ? Count by 10's starting at 3. Answer 3 - 13 - 23 - 33 - 43
- 53 - 63... Also ask your child to count backwards
starting at numbers like 43, 82, or 120. Telling time is still
difficult for some of the children. Asking questions about a face
clock will help give them a boost.
Your child also needs to continue to work on adding 4, 5, & 6 digit
numbers concentrating on regrouping.
