Quiz time and a homework suggestion


We had a Math quiz today, just to check in and see where everyone is at.  I was really pleased with the results! There's a copy of the quiz down below. To help build counting and problem solving confidence, it's a good idea for all students to practice counting by 5, 10, 25, 50 and 100.  Then, they'll want to take it a step further by alternating the ways they count.  So start off by counting by 50s, switch to 10s for a bit, then top it off with counting by 5s for a while.  It might be best for a parent or other adult to assist with this to make sure the counting is accurate.  

By practicing skip-counting in this manner, it will also help students when they are asked to count coins later in the year.  

Here is a copy of today's quiz.
