Say Good-bye to Primary!

August 24, 2019August 24, 2019 / @seeanngo33 / Leave a comment

My oldest son, Rory, is about to start Grade 3! Good-bye primary! Hello elementary! I can’t believe it! Where did the time go??? What does this mean in terms of his math? It means he is now ready to learn the algorithm for addition and subtraction; and I am so grateful to his teachers for … Continue reading Say Good-bye to Primary!

This led me to wonder how I … Continue reading Digits versus Numbers

The Importance of Place Value in Primary

September 19, 2016December 2, 2016 / @seeanngo33 / 3 Comments

The importance of place value I always start the school year with number sense. Why? Because it gives me a good indication of each student’s comfort with numbers. Number sense is the one strand that is always interwoven into other strands in mathematics. It is also the most telling predictor of a child’s success in … Continue reading The Importance of Place Value in Primary
