Dear Parents:
In this unit, your child will be learning about measurement.
The learning Goals for this unit are:
· Make comparisons between objects (longer, taller).
· Order lengths of objects (shortest to longest).
· Compare the areas of objects by covering them with different materials.
· Practise the language of measurement using words such as longer/shorter, as tall as, more/less, heavier/lighter.
· Compare the capacities of containers by filling them with water and other materials.
· Compare the masses of objects using simple scales and balances.
You can help you child reach these goals by helping them with their homework and talking about their day.

Dear Parents;
MATH Students need to know a number of different strategies
to add or subtract.
Addition Strategies
1. Simply know the number fact.
2. Count on - For example, 8+4= your child begins at 8 so all they have to do is count on four
– 9, 10, 11, 12.
3. Double Facts - For example, a question of 5+6= is given. If they knew 5+5= 10, then they
know 6 is 1 more than 5 just add the 1 to the 10.
Subtraction Strategies
1. Simply knowing the facts.
2. Counting backwards – For example, 5-2= your child begins at 5 and counts backwards 4, 3.
3. Knowing addition facts – Knowing 2+3=5 will help to know subtraction is a reconfiguration
of addition facts, such as, 5-2=3 or 5-3=2.
Working with facts repeatedly will help students remember them like memorization. Knowing the strategies will help them figure out unknown facts.

We have begun to explore the concept of addition. It has been explained to the students addition is placing two groups together.
Tip: While in the car or on a walk ask you child addition questions up to the sum of 10 for now.
