Math Activities to do with your child at home
Play " Guess My Number"
- I am thinking of an even number. It is greater than 17 and less than 19? What number am I thinking?
- I am thinking of a number? It has 2 tens and 3 ones. What number am I thinking?
Practice counting to 120 by ones with your child.
Practice counting to 120 by tens with your child.
Practice reading the snap words. Remember, your child should be able to read all of the snap words in a "snap".
READING - The Raz Kids app is available to all learners (virtual and face to face). If your child has extra time at night this is a great way to increase reading skills! Even 15 minutes will help increase vocabulary, increase fluency, and increase comprehension!
