Mathematics
Number Corner for September: The workouts in the first month of school focus on counting and recognizing numbers from 0-30, with a special emphasis on understanding that teen numbers are made of 1 ten and some more. Students will use a variety of models this month that will help them work in groups of 2, 5, and 10. Students review the concept of unitizing; that is, thinking of 10 items as a single unit called a ten.
Bridges: We continue to work on Unit 1 Module 3: In this module students engage in “quick look” activities intended to help them subitize, or recognize the quantity of objects in a set without having to count each individually. Students also explore part-part-whole relationships with numbers to 20. These explorations include work with equations in which an unknown variable might be in any one of three positions. The last session introduces length measurement with nonstandard units.
Social Studies
We will continue with Being Good Citizens in our homes, schools, and communities.
