Please review doubles .We had a fifteen question math min.quiz on doubles including 11+11 and 12+12. As a pretest, today's answers do not count,but tomorrow's quiz and review quiz of mixed numbers using 1s,2s,3s, and 4s will be for a grade.
I've cut the questions down to 15 problems to get an accurate picture of knowledge as the children now have had enough time to get the feel of a timed test. Please practice tonight.
In the homework folders,you'll find a copy of today's test results. The problems circled in crayon are those not completed during the time given. The may be either weak or the ones completed took too long to answer leaving no time left to attack them.
Look at your child's paper. We're still working on how to take a test,which means not surveying all of the questions after the timer starts,but to begin right away. I did write a note on the page if that is the case and also spoke personally to your child in private. I'll remind the whole class and we'll practice starting right away. They were not just searching for the ones best known but just reviewing questions.
We will continue to review how to study for a test and how to take one as each issue arises and I note common problems.
Remember,they don't know how to number a paper for spelling yet. We're all learning.
