Math information

Math  

The first graders are very busy understanding addition and subtraction.  They are learning about joining groups together and taking groups apart.  Math vocabulary is important in this area of learning.  Words they will be expected to know and recognize will be:  

• add 
• addend
• sum
• addition equation
• plus (+)
• is equal to (=)
• subtract
• difference
• subtraction equation
• minus (-)
• compare
• more
• fewer

Be sure to review their math work in the weekly take-home folder to see how they are progressing.  Also, there is a computer program that your child is working on each week called Successmaker.  This program correlates with their math learning in the classroom.  It is leveled according to your child's abilities.  Make sure to ask your child about what they are learning in math!!
