Math Terms and Transfer

We have begun our math work this year with arrays. This topic has brought up a lot of terms for your child to review/remember. These include factors, products, prime numbers, composite numbers, whole numbers, divisibility and more. Check your child on these terms. They may not be able to tell you what these terms mean simply because they have not been able to transfer their knowledge from one context to another (school to home). This does not necessarily mean they don't know the term. However, if you ask them and review these terms at home it may improve their overall math knowledge. It couldn't hurt!

Friday Folders

This year we will send home a folder with your child that will contain everything from classroom work to notes and announcements. Please sign the inside cover of the folder and return it with your child, empty, on the following Monday. I would like to have the folder signed so that I know that parents have viewed the information in the folder.

Thanks,

Mr. Nielsen
