This unit is focused on counting, reading and writing numbers up to and beyond 120. We are also learning about the operations of addition and subtraction. During this unit we are working to develop strategies for adding and subtracting whole numbers based on what the students already know and their work with numbers in kindergarten. Students will understand the connections between counting and addition and subtraction. We have been working on some vocabulary terms such as: sum, plus, minus, add, subtract, in all, equation. A new concept to this unit is determining about whether or not equations are true or false. Result-unknown word problems are also introduced in this unit.
Some of the big skills we are laying the foundation for during this unit are:
-> Use addition and subtraction to solve word problems
-> Represent a problem in multiple ways including objects, drawings and equations.
-> Add and subtract within 20.
->Add and subtract within 10 fluently.
-> Select from a variety of strategies according to the numbers in the problem.
We are going to begin signing in here at school to your child's Pearson account late this week. I will continue to be in touch with you regarding signing in from home and using the online resource at home. This will at no time be required, just an additional resource for you if you choose.
