Rocketing our way to Math Fact Mastery!

     We have added an exciting new math fact component to our Everyday Math routine: ROCKET MATH! Rocket Math is a daily, paper and pencil, supplemental, math facts practice curriculum. Each student has an individual goal of how many problems they need to correctly complete in one minute. Each level reviews only two new facts and their inverses.

     After learning the routines and procdures, each Owl was given their very first, level A, timed assessment! Some passed the level today, while others will need continued practice, Any day your child does not meet their goal, he or she will have that day's practice sheet to bring home. In addition to their nightly homework, please have them review their fact sheet.

Learning all the facts is a lot of work, but future success in math is dependent upon knowing the facts so well that the answers come automatically without much thinking. Thank you very much for you support of this critical learning goal. If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to contact me.
