Math Update

SUBTRACTION! We are learning about subtraction right now. Our math focus is on differences between zero and twenty. The students are pretty good at differences from and within ten, but struggle and the next batch. This week we are using number lines to start on a number and move backwards. If you want to quiz your child on subtraction at home, feel free! Eveyone should be able to figure out simple problems and equations. In the next few months, students should become fluent with their facts. We are starting to look more at fact families and will continue to work on subtraction strategies.
