Chapter 7 - Time
We are currently working in chapter 7 of the math text.
Use the pages sent home to guide your work with your child.
The following concepts will be covered (not necessarily in this order):
Tell time to: the hour and half hour, 5 minute intervals, the quarter hour.
Use sequence of events to solve problems.
Use a clock and the act it our strategy to solve problems.
Tell elapsed time in hours.
Read a calendar to identify days of the week and months of the year.
Analyze data and make decisions.
It is very important that the children practice math facts to 12 or even 20.
That means learning all addition and subtraction facts with answers up
to 12 or 20 by heart. This will make the addition that we work on much
easier. If your child is using fingers to count out simple addition facts to
12, he/she will struggle with these concepts in every chapter.
Use flash cards and make a game of fact practice. I sent home some ideas for
you and have many more if you need them. Just ask! I am here to help
you to work together with your child at home. Your support of our
lessons helps to reinforce the concepts. Thank you!
Remember to study facts for addition and subtraction with your child as
often as you can!
