Hi everyone!
Just wanted to update you on what the students are learning about currently in math. We started slowly bridging the topic of "place value" over the last few weeks. We worked on "expanded notation" which is breaking a number apart based on its place value (369 = 300 + 60 + 9). On Thursday, I began teaching the students the standard algorithm. This is usually a very complex and confusing concept for children of their age, but I am happy to report they are doing exceptionally well! Each student seems to have a solid understanding of regrouping within addition, and can accurately apply the algoithm into the hundreds! Tomorrow I will begin teaching them how to "borrow" (subtraction), which I am predicting will be a bit more difficult. If you have any questions, or notice your child is having a hard time with homework, please do not hesitate to contact me! Hope you all had a wonderful weekend : )
