Ways to Practice Math Facts

Some parents were asking about ways to help their child master their math facts.  Here are a few ways I have found useful and fun for the kids.   Math facts are one thing your child really needs to have memorized as we move on to harder math skills.  Xtramath.org is great, but students really need to do it often.

There are some links on our class blog for practicing math facts.  The students have liked Free Rice and it helps people in need with donations for rice from the United Nations.  The kids have liked having competitions to see which group can get the most rice to donate.

The app Sakura Quick Math is a great app for practicing math facts.  It recognizes almost all handwriting written on the screen

Field Trip to Old York

We had an awesome day on Friday at Old York.  The students enjoyed learning about Colonial cooking, schools, daily life, games, and textiles.

At the end of the day we did a little survey to see who would rather live during the Colonial days instead of today

Thank you to all our chaperones for their help throughout the day.
