Number Sense Assessment
Coming home today is a math quiz that was assessing your child's number sense.
Grade 1s: The focus was on their ability to count, represent and describe numbers to 20 in different ways. It also looked at their ability to count from various starting places.
Please continue to work with your child on counting up to 100 and being able to count, represent and describe numbers to 20. It can be as simple as counting objects at home or in the car. It is still common at this age for some numbers to be backwards. If your child is reversing their numbers, try to have them look over their work and see if they can find the backwards ones. This way they can start to self monitor their own work and will naturally start fixing their backwards numbers. However if your child is reversing their teen numbers (ie 31 for 13) please practice writing them the correct way to avoid future mathematical confusion.
Grade 2s: The focus was on their ability to identify missing numbers on a 100 board, counting by 2s, 5s and 10s, ordering numbers from least to greatest, as well as identifying even/odd numbers. The last page was checking their ability to read a graph and answer some questions.
Please continue to work with your child on counting by 2s, 5s, and 10s from various starting points from 1 to 9 forwards and backwards. This is a great activity to do in the car. Also practicing identifying even/odd numbers and putting numbers in order like hockey stats or other sport scores. Another option is to play the 100 games that are posted on this blog to improve their understanding of number.
