Assignment 1: Create a June Calendar
- Make a calendar for the month of June
- Label the month, days of the week, and some important events from school and your family on the calendar

- June 27 is National Sunglasses Day
- Here are a couple of hints to help you make your calendar:
- The first day of June is Monday, June 1
- June has 30 days
- You can download this template to create your calendar if you'd like, or draw your own rows and columns on a piece of paper

Math Worksheets
Click here to download the different worksheets for this week. If you have access to a printer, you can print them off, but if you don't your child can answer the questions on their own piece of paper.
All of the worksheets are also available on Seesaw Class if it's easier for your child to complete them there.
If your child is finding the worksheets much too challenging or much too easy, there are more or less challenging worksheets at the bottom of this week's activities (further down this page).
My intention is not for your child to finish all of these worksheets, but to use these to supplement the mini-lessons, word problems, and games and provide some extra practice for your child. Please don't feel pressured to have your child complete all eight!

Video Mini-Lessons
Word Problems
Click through the presentation below to view the question and then view the answer (the students should be familiar with this format from when we answer these problems in class).
Math Discussion Prompts
This slideshow has a collection of prompts that can inspire mathematical discussions that you and your children can have before bed, at dinner, or anytime. Each prompt shows you and your child a problem.
Sometimes there is one right answer and sometimes there are many right answers. The purpose of each question is to generate a discussion about how you determined an answer. If you find one answer, try to find another.

Game
Click here to download the math games to play this week to practice some math operations (including some challenging multiplication). You can check out the games from previous weeks on those math pages as well!
Basic Facts Practice
Click here to download this week's basic facts sheets to practice our fact fluency. Our goal when we work on these is to get as many does as we can, and to try to get them done a tiny bit faster each time we practice. I usually give them 10 minutes and then we stop, but because students will be doing them at home you could use a stopwatch and help your chid time how long it takes to complete all the questions.
If you do not have a printer you could write out one column of equations for your child or read the equations to them and have them tell you the answers.
Below the sheets are some links to games that would also help your child gain automaticity in calculating their basic facts if that is a way to practice that works well for your child.

Book and Activities (Optional)
Click on the book Getting Ready for School on the right, and read it with your child. (Click here to access a PDF of the book if you can't read it online.)
As you read, encourage your child to:
Choose 1-4 of the following activities to work on with your child Try the online Which One is Longer by clicking here How Long Is 1 Minute? See how well your child can sense how long 1 minute is. Set a timer, and have your child close her/his eyes. Have your child raise her/his hand when it feels like 1 minute is up. Do this several times and see whether the estimates get closer to 60 seconds with experience. Scavenger Hunt Look at a ruler to get a sense of how long 10 centimetres is. Trying coming up with a personal measure that will help your child estimate and measure 10 centimetres. Send your child on a scavenger hunt to find and list things that are about 10 centimetres. Use a ruler to check how close the estimates were. |
How Many Steps?
Have your child measure distance by counting heel-to-toe steps or strides. Encourage comparison. For example, ask: Do you think it takes more or fewer baby steps from the front door to the kitchen or from the kitchen to your bedroom? Discuss a reasonable way of figuring this out and then try it. Estimate and measure other distances, always estimating the greatest and least distances before embarking on a common unit of measure. |
