Hello Parents!

      Just a quick note about tonight's math homework.  I'm sorry there are not directions...it was meant to be classwork but we didn't have time to start it today.  Your child is supposed to break down the two digit number into tens and ones.  Then add the ones.  Then add the ten to the ones.

Also the worksheet starts at 5 and ends at number 10...so there is no 1 through 4.  

Sorry if there was any confusion!

Here's an example:

We just finished Chapter 7:  Numbers to 20!   In this chapter we learned how to:

• count on from 10
• make a 10, then count on
• compare sets of numbers
• use place value (tens and ones)
• use place value to find out how much greater or less
• make patterns with numbers 
• order numbers from least to greatest and greatest to least

Our chapter test will be given on Tuesday.
