Math Magician

Yesterday we started our Math Magician program to help us increase our addition facts recall. It's a fun game and the kids like keeping track of their own progress! It's also a great way to help prepare for 2nd grade when fact recall is essential in do higher level computations more efficiently!

I gave everyone the opportunity to master their "+0" facts. We will have plenty of time in class to work on this. Once mastered, they can move up to "+1" and so on. A 100% must be achieved to go on to the next level. Basically each level gives you a minute to answer 20 problems with each level getting progressively more difficult. The kids feel such achievement when they attain a new level! Take a look at our math wall next to the calendar in the room to see your child's progress.

I also have the link at the bottom of this blog and you can practice at home! If your child gets a 100% at home, print the certificate (or write a note stating 100% was achieved) and bring it to school. I will not count it for our classroom work but it will serve as a "ticket" during journal to score a 100% at school! Let the games begin!
