Welcome to Johnny's Math Class!
We began this year with a place value and multiplication pre-test and are moving forward practicing these skills as needed.
What about homework?
Some nights there will be worksheets for students to practice the skills we've learned. Other nights you'll see "20 minutes" written in the planner. These nights are perfect for practicing math facts, using Khan Academy or testing your child on math facts. Give your son or daughter a multiplication problem and ask for an explanation of how they solved it. Just computing an answer doesn't mean a target is mastered. The goal is always understanding and each mistake is an opportunity to understand the concepts more fully.
