Math Workshop: Missing Addend 9/28/20

Hello!
We will continue our unit focusing on addition of numbers to 10, focusing on applying what we have learned about real world word problems and strategies to find the missing addend. 
Students will be able to use a number bond to understand numbers, read addition sentences, make numbers to 10 in different ways, count on to add to 10, find the unknown part of an addition sentence, and solve real world addition problems. 
example: 
5 + ____ = 10 
 
Unit Vocabulary: 
Add: students will be able to combine two numbers (parts) to make a larger number (Whole). 
Addition Sentence: students will be able to read, write, and solve number sentences used in addition problems. 
Sum: students will be able to find the answer to addition problems, known as the sum. 
Number Bond: students will be able to use a number bond to find the relationship between a number and the parts used to make that number. 
 
Support Your Student at Home: 
Give your child a certain number of objects. Then ask your child to show you different ways to separate the objects into two groups. Count the number of objects in each group. Identify them each as a part. Put the two groups back together to make the whole.

Math Update: Fluency and Numbers 8/24

Hello! 
This week we will be focusing on fluency with counting to 50, writing numbers to 10. Learning over Zoom is new for our kiddos so it is best to begin with something simple and build confidence before jumping into more challenging subjects. 
We will be reinforcing proper number formation and begin digging into place value concepts with the teens family. Also, remind them that I don't expect them to be perfect, I just want them to try their best! 
 
We will follow up each lesson with a practice on Seesaw on how to use a specific tool, an introduction to Boom Cards, or a day with Prodigy Math Games.
