Morning Routine
Math – We continued to look at addition “mysteries”. We also talked about the importance of knowing all of the different math facts that make 10. Students need to know (by memory) that:
10 + 0 = 10, 9 + 1 = 10, 8 + 2 = 10, 7 + 3 = 10, 6 + 4 = 10, 5 + 5 = 10, 4 + 6 = 10, 3 + 7 = 10, 2 + 8 = 10, 1 + 9 = 10, 0 + 10 = 10
We will continue to practice memorizing at school, however additional practice at home can be beneficial for students who are having difficulty remembering these facts.
