Dear Parents/Guardians, We are playing a math game called "Ready, Set, Go with Math."   The goal of this game is to help your child add quickly without using their fingers, and having fun at the same time.  We are starting with the addition facts first.  If time permits, we will also include subtraction facts. This is how the game is played: Each student will be driving their own "car".  Everyone will start at the starting line.  Each day students will be given 20 addition facts that they will have to complete in one minute.  We will start out with addition facts with 0, then 1,2, all the way to 10.  Each time your child gets all 20 problems correct in one minute, they will earn "$1.00".  Students will buy treats with this pretend money. Believe it or not, you are also included in this game.  Your part is to assist your child in practicing their facts and timing them as they practice.  If your child does not have all the 20 facts correct in one minute, they will come home with their facts list to practice at home. They will try again until they get them all correct.  Students will move onto the next addition fact once they have mastered the previous facts.  You can print additional math fact sheets by clicking on the number fact below. In the end, this game is really all about memorization, and I think that this is a fun way to memorize the math facts, as well as to prepare them for second grade. As usual, thanks for your support and cooperation.  You play an important role in your child's success.  I hope you will enjoy doing this activity with your child. Thanks - Mrs. Phillips
