Module 8 Assessment
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.
