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).
Games
Here are some new games to play this week to practice some of the skills we've been working on. 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 The Money Jar on the left, 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 1-3 of the below activities to work on with your child Try the online Find the Sum activity by clicking here Money Shout Out Gather an assortment of coins or play money. Start by shouting out an amount of money (less than a dollar); your child then must build that amount, using the coins or play money. If the amount is correct, he/she gets a point. Then, ask your child to find another way to build the same amount to get another point. Switch roles. First person to score 10 points wins. What’s in My Hand? Put a few coins in each hand. Show your child what you have in one hand and hide the other behind your back. Say the total of all the coins, and tell your child to use the sum to guess the hidden amount. Then, invite your child to guess what coins you have. |
Cupcake Money
On the inside of cupcake liners, write different amounts of money that are under a dollar. Have your child put the correct amount of coins (or play money) in each cupcake liner. Count together to ensure that the correct amount was placed in each liner. |
