Class Mission
Nagy’s Ninjas are friendly and supportive team members who promise to stand up for others. We synergize together to keep each other safe and achieve our common goals by supporting each other, encouraging each other, and helping each other become confident. We show respect and we train hard so we can be responsible for our skills and learning, and we are here to have fun everyday!
Math
This week in math we kicked off our first unit: Addition, Subtraction, and Place Value. The family letter for the unit can be found on our math tab or by clicking here. In our math unit this week we...
- learned our math workshop routines and procedures.
- wrote numbers using expanded form and number names.
- discussed numeral values and relationships between digits in the same number
- i.e. the first 5 is ten times larger than the second 5 in 6,552
- compared whole numbers using <, >, or =.
Please remember to have your child practice their math facts nightly! In addition, students are assigned Online Practice Buddies daily. These may be completed as optional homework.
