We have finished Topic A in Module 4 in Math and will be moving into Topic B, where students will compose and decompose numbers 6, 7, and 8. This helps students to grasp the number concepts and add and subtract fluently up to 8. We will draw pictures using the number bond model to record the relationships between the quantities. If your child is struggling with number bonds, there are a variety of youtube videos available for parents to help work with your child at home. Using a number bond mat or template and manipulative to work our real world problems are beneficial to helping students to grasp this concept. Please let me know if you have any questions or conocerns or if you need help find some additional resources to help your child succeed. As a reminder, homework is a good way to practice the skills that are taught in class and I encourage you to have your child work independently on their homework, and help if they need it. I do not take homework for a grade, but it is beneficial to have your child practice these skills at home.
