JOY POD

Math:  These are some of the curriculum outcomes we have been working on during math.

GRADE 1:   Develop Number Sense 
I can count from 0 to 100.
I can show my understanding of counting in many ways.
I can draw and tell about numbers up to 20.
I can identify a number up to 20 that is one or two more or one or two less
I can show my understanding of addition of numbers up to 20.
I can show my understanding of subtraction of number up to 20.
I can tell about and use many different mental mathematics strategies to add or subtract to 18.
Important to know or do:
Compare sets containing up to 20 elements using:  referents, one-to-one correspondence
Demonstrate an understanding of conservation of numbers
Worth being familiar with:
Recognize at a glance and name familiar arrangements of 1 to 10 objects or dots
Estimate quantities to 20 by using referents

GRADE 2: Develop Number Sense
I can say numbers in order from 0 to 100 by 2’s, 5’s and 10’s forward and backward.
I can tell if a number is even or odd.
I can write, draw or tell about numbers to 100.
I can show and explain what happens when zero is added or subtracted.
I can show my understanding of adding and subtracting with answers up to 100.
I can use mental mathematics strategies to adding and subtracting

Number fact fluency refers to a student’s ability to think efficiently, accurately and flexibly towards mastery using numbers. Students with strong number sense are able to manipulate numbers and understand how to use various strategies to solve problems. Students develop their number fluency along a continuum of learning that starts with basic counting skills and leads to efficient strategies that may include recall. Recall is the ability to effortlessly know the answer as a result of developing strategies and number relationships. The following tables identify some of the strategies students use when they are solving number facts mentally. The arrow indicates how students progress as they move towards fluency. A number fact is defined as addition and subtraction expressions up to 20.

o SubitizeSee a set of objects and know how many there are without counting.
o Counting allCounting each object one at a time.

 o Counting on / Counting backStart with one quantity and count up / down by the second number.
o Skip countingCounting forwards or backwards by a number other than one.
o Counting on / back from larger number
Start with the larger quantity and count up/down by the other number.
o Using a known fact Choosing a nearby fact and adjusting.
o Near doubles -
Adjusting the calculation using doubles such as 5 + 7, a student might take 1 from 7 and add it to the 5 to make 6 + 6.
o Using the 5 or 10 anchor Adding to make 5 or 10 or splitting the number by subtracting to make 5 or 10.
o Recall number facts Automatically knowing the answer as a result of developing strategies and understanding number relationships.

BOTTLE CAPS:
The bottle cap art that we worked on before Winter Break is not quite finished and we are hoping to add the last few lids that are needed.  Please help us out.  We are looking for Brown, Green, Blue, Red and Orange plastic lids.  Thank you in advance!

 ********************************************************************************
Parent/Student/Teacher Conference:
Please sign up for a conference time (if you haven't done this yet) to see both your child's classroom work and the "key" teacher who could help share your child's learning.  As these conferences are  "student-led" we ask that students attend these conferences and we ask that parents plan to spend time looking and discussing your child's learning.  If you attended our "Joy of Play" Open House you will have noticed that our students love sharing their learning and accomplishments and love even more to hear proud parents rave about their child's work.
**********************************************************************************
Scholastic Book Fair: 
Please check out the Book Fair poster above.  We are super excited to have the Book Fair visiting our school one last time this school year. Students will come home with a "wish list" on Tuesday after viewing the variety of books and literature.   Please help support the Book Fair one last time this year!  Money raised helps to provide more books for our children to enjoy! Yippeeeee!!!!!
