We are having so much fun getting into a learning routine with your little ones! We have jumped right into our curriculum and are really enjoying seeing the kids learn. We hope to see you at Open House on Monday!
Math :
- Please make oral counting part of your daily routine. This can easily be done on your car ride to school!
- Numbers 0-10 may seem like an easy skill, but in class, we are using tools such as a ten frame, number line, rekenrek, and subitizing cards to really solidify the understanding of these numbers. We want our students to have a very strong number sense. We encourage you to use these tools at home as well. You can find them here: https://fortisacademy.wordpress.com/singapore-math/
- Story problems are another great tool you can add on to your math lessons. We do them daily at school. Give your child manipulatives and the different math tools mentioned above, along with paper and pencil. Let them choose how they would like to solve the problem. After they come up with an answer, have them explain to you how they came up with it.
I see 4 bees and 3 ladybugs in the garden. How many insects do I see?
Johnny had 7 apples. He gave 2 to his brother. How many are left?
Sally had some cookies. Her friend gave her 3 more. Now she has 7 cookies. How many cookies did she have to start with?
There were 6 crickets. Some hopped away. Now there are 3 left. How many crickets hopped away?
Sarah baked 3 pies. She used 2 apples to make each pie. How many total apples did she use?
