The students are working hard learning the subtraction strategies. Students can use Touch Math to count back. I sent a Touch Math packet home for your child to practice at home. If you child has the subtraction facts memorized, please do not have them practice Touch Math as that will slow them down. If your child needs a numberline to subtract or still uses his/her fingers to subtract, Touch Math is a great alternative.
We practiced fact families and related facts today. Please continue to have your child practice the addition facts on Xtramath.org as this will help with subtraction. We'll continue to practice the subtraction strategies this week and we'll have a text on Chapter 6 on Tuesday, Oct. 23rd.
I will be giving an addition and subtraction timed tests this week as we finish up first quarter. Next quarter, there will be a mix of easy facts and hard facts on the timed tests.
