Dear Parents--
We have quite a few kids coming home with a pretty large math packet for homework. This homework is to help them with their speed drills for adding and subtracting whole numbers.
Every day we complete DMS (Daily Math Skills). Think of it like a timed test. In the 2 minutes, students are expected to complete all 64 problems using either addition or subtraction. If they complete anywhere between 45-64 problems, that is considered passing. Anything 44 or below is not passing.
The students bringing home these large packets did not pass the timed portion for both week 1 and week 2 of DMS. It is imperative that they work on increasing their score within the 2 minute time limit. Please practice with them using a timer. It is a total of 10 pages at 2 minutes apiece will take a total of 20 minutes to complete. Find time during this 4 day weekend to work on these skills.
Thanks!
Mrs. T
