Math (If you find your kids are struggling with adding 9 + 8 or 16 – 8, then you can focus on 2.1 practices. It is so important to have a solid foundation in up to 20 addition and subtraction. I recommend every student choose appropriate difficulty level (5 stars are hardest) to practice for 5-
10 minutes a day or 20 math questions per day, 4-5 days a week) .
2.1.
Review and improve addition and subtraction up to 20
