MATH WORKBOOK B (Part 2):

It is important to spend time getting familiar with what your child has been learning in kindergarten and try to find ways to help him/her master those skills. Consequently, please look over your child’s math workbook as thoroughly as possible. In particular, work on anything noted as “completed with help” or “practice at home.” This means your child was either unable to complete the page without one-on-one assistance or s/he struggled with the concept. When working with your child on these math skills, it is often times as simple as verbally asking them a similar question or drawing a picture.

This workbook is what we have been working on daily for the last few months, and if the majority of the skills are not mastered by the end of the year, your child will not be adequately prepared for first grade. Addition and subtraction fluency and fact practice will be a big part of your child’s first grade math curriculum. I would recommend focusing on these two concepts the most. Thank you for your help.
