Our mathematicians continue to be word problem detectives each and every day.  They have developed wonderful strategies that encourage them to visualize what is being asked, as well as drawing pictures and writing equations.  We took a quick quiz yesterday and everyone did BEAUTIFULLY!   We are REALLY emphasizing “slow and steady wins the race” so that we can carefully think about the word problem before we start the solving process.  Next week we will be looking at two-step and more complex comparison word problems.  WAY TO GO SECOND GRADERS!
