We will again be using the Investigations Math program this year.  Students will develop number sense using games, paper and many math tools.  Students will explore counting using cubes, counters, base ten blocks and paper/pencil.  During centers, students can build with shape blocks, make patterns with cubes and discover ways to add/subtract using ten frames and connecting cubes.  The investigation games that we will play will engage students in learning how to determine more or less and ways to compare numbers.  Students will have the opportunity to bring games home.   Please have fun playing the game with your child.  On occasion, other math homework will be sent home to practice skills we have worked on.  Please assist your child with homework and games.
