Homework
Home work packets
will be assigned every Monday and Due the following Monday. All
students are expected to have their homework signed prior to passing
it in.
Benefits of having
a weekly packet:
-
Clear communication: you
will know exactly what is for homework for the entire week and
plan accordingly
-
Gives you flexibility to
schedule your time (homework should be high on the priority
list)
-
Chance to ask for help.
(Students may bring packets in Tues, Wed, Thurs, or Friday to
get extra help)
-
Stapled packets are easy to
keep organized
In addition to homework packets,
the following assignments are expected to be
completed on a weekly basis:
-
Master math facts
-
Practice weekly spelling words
-
Read daily (including filling
out a reading log)
-
Learn states and capitals

Math Facts Strategies:
Addition
doubles: 8 + 8=16
near doubles: 8 +7= think (7+7)+1 =
15
two-away facts: 6 + 8= (7
comes between 6 and 8: double it) = 14
9s pattern: 9 + 6=
(one less than 6 is 5) +10 = 15
8s pattern: 8 + 6=
(two less than 6 is 4) + 10 = 14
make ten: 7 + 4= (3 more is
needed to make 7 a ten: break 4 into 3+1)= (7+3) + 1 = 11
Subtraction
think addition: 12 - 6 = ?
Think: "6 + ___ = 12" Answer: 6
...so, 12 - 6 = 6
Use ten as a
reference point:
13 - 7 = ?
7 ----------------
(10) -------------------- 13
3
3
6
13-7
= 6
15 - 8 = ?
8
--------------- (10 ) ----------------- 15
2
5
7
15 - 8
= 7
Multiplication
9s have a few interesting
patterns.
9 x
9 = 81
9 x
8 = 72
9 x
7 = 63
9 x
6 = 54
Cool! The digit in tens column is always
9 x
5 = 45
one less than the factor multiplied by 9!
9 x
4 = 36
9 x
3 = 27
9 x
2 = 18
9 x
1 = 09
Now, look at the sum of the
digits for each fact.
9 x 9 =
81:
(8
+ 1
= 9)
9 x 8 =
72:
(7
+ 2
= 9)
9 x 7 =
63:
(6
+ 3
= 9)
Wow! For each
product, the sum of the digits equals 9!
9 x 6 =
54:
(5
+ 4
= 9)
9 x 5 =
45:
(4
+ 5
= 9)
9 x 4 =
36:
(3+
6
= 9)
9 x 3 =
27:
(2
+ 7
= 9)
9 x 2 =
18:
(1
+ 8
= 9)
9 x 1 =
09:
(0
+ 9
= 9)
12s are easy if
you think of them as 12 = 10 + 2
12 x 5 is
difficult
12
x 5
10 x
5 is easy
(50)
2 x
5 is easy
(10) ...so,
50 + 10 is 60;
therefore 12 x 5 = 60
12 x 7 is
difficult
12
x
7
10 x
7 is easy
(70)
2 x
7 is easy
(14)...so,
70 + 14 is 84;
therefore 12 x 7 = 84
