Math
Module 13 - Addition and Subtraction
Relationships

13.2 Identify Related Facts
13.3 Use Addition to Check Subtraction
13.4 Unknown Numbers
Please read over the day’s lesson and
choose one or two problems to discuss
with your child. If she or he can teach
the concept to you, then you know
mastery occurred.
Math homework goes home every day, but Friday, in the red
folder. It is to be returned the next day. Homework is not
graded, but checked, and teachers keep track of whether the
homework is done or not as a report card requirement.
Timed math fact test goal sheets are to be kept in
the back pocket of your child’s red folder in order for
you to know what facts to study each week.
Please practice your math facts for at
least 10 minutes each night if you are
not up to subtraction to 15.
Tie-Dye begins in Art on Feb.16th. All
first graders will need a laundered white
t-shirt in a ziplock bag. Please write the
name on the inside band using
permanent marker. Kelly green is our
color. HISD-approved volunteers are
welcome to help students with tie-dying
in art class. Donations of RIT dye are
greatly appreciated. Students will wear
the shirts March 11th for the family
picnic!
