Math Update

After winter break we started our unit on place value. Place value is imperative for the work your students will be doing in second grade and beyond. A deep foundation understanding of these concepts will be beneficial in the future!

This unit focuses on counting to 120 by tens and ones, reading and writing numbers to 120, and representing a number of objects with a written numeral for quantities to 120. Students’ understanding of the place value system is strengthened preparing them for 2-digit addition and subtraction.  The concept of tens and ones is developed, which is a key foundation of the base- 10 number system.  Students use their understanding of place value to compare 2-digit numbers.  A Big Idea that connects most of the work in this unit is that the base- 10 numeration system is a scheme for recording numbers using digits 0-9, groups of 10, and place value.
