New Math Videos

Hello Families!

Here are a few math videos that we've been singing to in class this week!
We are working on mastering the partners that make 10. This will help your child make friendlier numbers when working with difficult math problems this year. We are also working on mastering our doubles. First term outcomes for grade 2s include mastering the "Make 10 Partners" and Doubles Facts.

What If I Know My Doubles?

---Ask your child to start working on the doubles +/- 1 concepts. 6+5 ---> I know that 5+5 = 10 so one more would be 11. Or 3+4. I know that 4+4 is 8 so one less is 7.

---Ask your child to start working on the doubles +/- 2 concepts. 7+5 ---> I know that 5+5 = 10 so two more would be 12. ….Or 7+9. I know that 9+9 is 18 so two less is 16.

---You can also ask your child to "half the doubles" -- I know that 6 + 6 = 12 so 12 - 6 = 6, etc. Great for applying quick math fact knowledge.

--- Ask your child to apply their doubles to larger numbers! I know that 6+6=12 so 60+60=120 and 600+600 = 1200 (one thousand, two hundred)…... Excellent for grade 3 students to understand this concept as we start working with larger numbers into the year.
