Each Monday, students will take home a weekly math packet. This math packet will contain three double sided worksheets to be completed throughout the week (on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays / weekends). At the top of each double-sided worksheet you will find instructions that state, "To be completed on or after ___day." This is important to note as the concepts on some of the later pages won't be introduced until mid week and I want to be sure your child has a classroom understanding of the concept before trying it independently at home. This helps with confidence building and skill mastery.
These activities are supplemental activities to the activities and lessons we complete as a class throughout the week. They are meant to provide your child with added practice and reinforcement. It is my hopes that this homework routine provides you with the opportunity to take a look at some of the concepts your child is studying in Kindergarten. Math homework should take no more than 5 or 10 minutes per evening. As we get into our Math routine, I will provide optional online opportunities for your child to use on Tuesdays and Thursdays (our "off" Math worksheet days). ASP kiddos are encourage to use "homework time" to complete their homework before heading home.
On the following Monday morning, your child should return their packet back to school and turn it in. We will take part of our Monday Math time to review our work independently, with partners, in small groups, or as a large group. Please see that your child is prepared to participate in our Math review each Monday. As you begin our new Math homework routine please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
Practicing our first math concept - Ten Frames!
PS: At the start of each unit, I will include a parent letter in your child's Math Packet that explains our new area of study within Math class.
