Hello- The kids seem to be using the k12 math program well. They are getting organized in their work, and seem excited about learning math. The first unit of the book has been working with word problems and various ways of estimating with all the operations. The unit finishes out with exponents and prime factorization.
Along with the math program, I am going to start giving mad minute quizes every day starting Monday, September 20th. We will start with addition and subtraction facts, 30 problems in a minute!! Please dust off the flash cards and help them get prepared. We will start with multiplication October 3rd!!
There will also be vocabulary the kids will need to be responsible for. Each unit has specific words they should know. They will get a typed sheet from me that they will fill in and be quized on periodically. I think this will help them with their overall math abilities.
