The second graders at Floral Street School have been hard at work on math facts since our first week together. Knowing our math facts fluently helps to ensure future success in mathematics. Both a paper and an electronic version of the image below will be going home to all second grade families in the very near future. This communication contains information about why learning math facts is important, expectations broken down by each trimester, ways you can help support us at home, and three math websites that students can use to practice.
Additionally, information on the XtraMath online math fact practice tool will be going home in next week's homework folder. As of right now, I don't have an expectation that all students use XtraMath once it is up and running because there are many different ways to practice facts and what works well for one student may not work well for another. However, it is an option that many students have found success with in the past, so I wanted to make sure that your students had access to that program this year as well. Be on the lookout for XtraMath login information early next week!
