Adding and Subtracting Learning Goals

Here are the expectations for our new unit on addition and subtraction!

Number Sense - Addition & Subtraction
  • I can solve problems involving addition and subtraction of two-digit numbers, using a variety of mental strategies
  • I can add and subtract 3-digit numbers 
  • I can use estimation when solving problems using addition and subtraction 
Encourage your child to go on Xtramath.org and practise their math facts or quiz them while you are in the car on numbers that you see on license plates.  Ask them to estimate how much two items at the store will cost altogether.  When planning for Christmas get togethers, ask them how many plates, or buns, or cookies, etc, you will need altogether.

Patterning Learning Goals

We have started our new unit on patterning! Here are our learning goals and tips for you to practise at home! There are also a couple of links to some online games. Thank you for your support in your child's learning.

Patterning
  • I can identify, extend, and create a repeating pattern involving two attributes 
  • I can identify and describe number patterns on a number line, on a calendar, and on a hundreds chart
Look for patterns in your everyday life at home or when out doing errands (ex. Fences, wallpaper, when setting the table, in fabrics/materials, and when playing with toys). Have them describe what the attributes are (what changes in the pattern - ex. Size, colour, shape). Involve your child when adding events to calendars and when counting how many days until birthdays, holidays or special events.
