Rylee and Math Facts

Second Grade requires that all children work on their math facts and beable to pass off Addition 1 to 9 and Subtraction 1-9. If they are successful there will be a Math Facts Party at the end of the school year. Each day they have a timed test for each level. The children are grouped together by level to help each other.

We didn't really work or focus on math and really pushed reading instead. In February at parent teacher's conference we discovered Rylee was falling behind and only on Adding 8's. Her teacher was concerned that she wouldn't make the party.

It was time to focus on math facts. Out came the practice tests, flash cards every day. She did really well at home with the flash cards, but the timed tests at school were a struggle.

Tuesday she finally passed of her subtracting 9's. She was so excited and quickly collected her 5 dollars from her Dad. He made a deal with her if she could complete all the levels he would give her 5 bucks.

I DID IT !!!!!

The Final Test !!!!

Wednesday, she received her invitation to the Pajama Pizza Party on Tuesday, May 25th.

We are really proud of her and all her hard work. It is hard work learning the math facts. I take it for granted now. After watching her I understand how important it.
