Parent Night: Math Strategies Challenge

Directions: Complete all of the grade level problems below at each station. Your child may not have yet been introduced to these strategies in their grade level yet.

Kindergarten

Standard:MAFS.K.OA.1.1:Represent addition and subtraction with objects, fingers, mental images, drawings, sounds (e.g., claps), acting out situations, verbal explanations, expressions, or equations.

Challenge: Use the Rekenreks to show four different ways to create the number 8. Use red and yellow crayons to show the red and white beads. The first two are done for you.

1st Grade

Standard:MAFS.1.OA.3.6: Add and subtract with 20.

Challenge: Mary is buying fruit at the store. She buys 7 bananas and 6 apples. Use the ‘Make a Ten’ strategy to show the total amount of fruit she buys. Complete the Tens Frame, and writethe new addition sentence.

7 + 6 = ______is the same as ______+ ______= _____

2nd Grade

Standard:MAFS.2.OA.2.2: Fluently add and subtract within 20 using mental strategies. By the end of Grade 2, know from memory all sums of two one-digit numbers.

Challenge: Your target Number is 14. Complete the “Target Practice” worksheet by working with the Number Bond. Dice and worksheet are located at the 2nd grade table.

3rd Grade

Standard:MAFS.3.G.1.1: Understand that shapes in different categories (e.g., rhombuses, rectangles, and others) may share attributes (e.g., having four sides), and that the shared attributes can define a larger category (e.g., quadrilaterals). Recognize rhombuses, rectangles, and squares as examples of quadrilaterals, and draw examples of quadrilaterals that do not belong to any of these subcategories.

Challenge:Complete the six blanks in the graphic organizer to classify each quadrilateral based upon the characteristics of the shape. Each term may fit into more than one blank, but all terms can be used only once to make the entire organizer true. Use the examples provided at the station to help you.

Quadrilateral / Square / Rhombus
Parallelogram / Trapezoid / Rectangle

4th Grade

Standard:MAFS.4.NBT.2.6 -Find whole-number quotients and remainders with up to four-digit dividends and one-digit divisors, using strategies based on place value, the properties of operations, and/or the relationship between multiplication and division.

Challenge:Use the place value disksat the station to show the quotient of . Draw a picture of what this looks like below.Actually act out the sharing process.

Hint: Create/Draw Equal Groups. Use the largest number to being sharing (100 disk). Make your equal groups large 

5th Grade

Standard:MAFS.5.NBT.2.7: Add, subtract, multiply, and divide decimals to hundredths, using concrete models or drawings and strategies based on place value, properties of operations, and/or the relationship between addition and subtraction; relate the strategy to a written method and explain the reasoning used.

Challenge: Susan is preparing for a race. On Monday she ran 0.25 of a mile. On Tuesday she ran 0.8 of a mile. How far has she run so far? Solve the problem using a strategy based on place value. Use a different strategy besides lining up the digits and adding or subtracting.

(Hint):Draw dots in each place value to represent your numbers. Make a group of ten to regroup to the next place value.

Tens / Ones / . / Tenths / Hundredths

Susan has run ______mile(s).
