Weekly Math Facts

Every Wednesday we will be having a two minute addition or subtraction fact check. Students need to complete as many facts as they can in two minutes. Their goal is to get at least 24 correct to receive a score of secure (SC). It will switch from addition and subtraction weekly. When it's graded it will be returned with only the ones filled in that they completed in the 2 minutes. Their grade will be at the bottom. If we don't have math class on a Wednesday due to a field trip, assembly, or special event, we will try to do it on another day of the week or we will skip that week. Here's what it looks like:

How can you help your child at home with these fact checks? 

*Have them practice flashcards.

*Eventually, we will be sending home some mini-flashcards that they can practice with you. 

*If they only completed 20 problems, give them two more minutes at home to see how many more they can finish. 

*Switch roles and you complete as many as you can in two minutes and then they have to grade your paper. (Then they are still doing the math work, but it's more fun!)

*Try to make it fun!
