How to Complete Greg Tang's DigiCross and NumTanga Puzzles

Math homework will often be a variety of puzzles from Greg Tang Math which incorporate fact practice and problem solving along with a variety of other concepts in a fun way. (some of these are games on his website, www.GregTangMath.com )  We do these in class several times a week and I always provide instruction, but in case students forget what to do or you would like some info, I made a video on how to solve each puzzle.  Here is the video for DigiCross and NumTanga.

How to Practice Math in the Summer

Research has shown math is the area most likely in which students are most likely to regress in over the summer. How can you prevent this from happening? I have a whole bunch of suggestions that you can implement, at least a few times a week this summer and none are that hard to do.  Things your child can do: Work on pages that are skipped or incomplete in their math books  Continue math fact practice with XtraMath.com, flash cards, during commerical breaks,  or verbal practice while driving in the car. Third grade teachers look for students to have mastered addition facts up to 10 + 10 and subtraction facts within 20 by the fall.

Some examples are: Sushi Monster Dreambox (a few kids may already have accounts - I would have sent home a letter in the winter if so) Splash Math Kids Math Marble Math Junior Peter Pig's Money Math Counter  Go to the Museum of Sc

Math Fact Fluency Resources

Sharing some resources and ideas for math fact practice! The CCSS for math fact fluency is that second graders will be fluent (adept and quick) with addition and subtraction facts up to 20). This will enable them to be ready for solving multi digit addition and subtraction, word problems, and multiplication in third grade.  Earlier in the year I sent home information for xtramath.com   but I just sent it home again on Friday. This is a powerful way to practice math facts for about 10-15 minutes a day. They also have an app but the website is free.  Students can also use tradition flash cards. Websites like http://www.math-aids.com/Flash_Cards     have printable and free flash cards. You can also get them at places like Dollar Tree, Staples and Amazon.  Verbal practice is good and you can give your child quick facts while driving in the car, during TV commercials, while waiting for the bus etc.  Let me know if you have any ongoing questions!
