Math

We're refreshing our addition facts. These seem to be pretty good. I'm looking for them to get 55/55 three times to prove they know thier basic addition facts.

In multiplication we're working on 2 and 4 time tables. It's still not automatic for everyone. Keep practicing them at home.

Once a week they get a review booklet. It always comes out on Friday and is do on Wednesday.

We're also working on place value and understanding the meaning of numbers up to
10 000.
