Your child has his/her username and password to use on the above site taped to his/her red Home Link folder. Your family can access all of the resources available.

The daily Everyday Math lesson will be taught using the Promethean Board. Students will then be divided into small groups to support the needs and provide appropriate challenges for all students. On a daily basis, students will engage in a whole group math lesson, small group pre-teaching or enrichment, independent journal time and games. Twice a week our GT teacher, Mrs. Eichenberger, will help support enrichment and extensions by meeting with math teams. Ms. Bay, our paraprofessional, will take each group for additional support and enrichment to ensure that all second graders receive small group instruction and provide opportunities for more one-to-one teacher time.

__**Math Homework**__

 Students will have a Home Link for math every night we have a math lesson. It will allow students to review the information that was taught and for me to assess their comprehension of the material. The Home Links also provide parents an insight of the material taught in class.

 Math facts should also be studied on a weekly basis. If your child does not already know all of his or her addition and subtraction facts, please encourage him or her to practice them weekly. We will have fact tests to sharpen and assess our skills each Monday and Thursday. Students can become a Math Master if they have automatic recall of their facts.

 On some occasions, projects will be assigned as homework. Students will be given the due date as well as a rubric indicating the requirements.

 A review test will be provided to students before the end of each unit so students can prepare for the upcoming assessment. The review is required and will be discussed the day before each test.

Math Masters

Students are expected to practice their addition and subtraction facts each evening. Students take timed quizzes twice a week on Mondays and Thursdays. Each time they pass a test, they will move up in a level all the way to a sum of 20. Once a student becomes an Addition Math Master, he or she will then work on subtraction and then multiplication. Students are expected to master all of the addition and subtraction facts by the end of second grade. The multiplication is a third grade skill, but we will challenge those who get to that point.

Practice your math facts using these math triangles! You can download them below so you can practice everyday!
