We've completed Unit 1: Place Value, and will be jumping to Unit 2: Addition and Subtraction. We'll spend a lengthy time on this math unit which will take us until December. Students will spend the next 12 weeks digging into addition and subtraction with and without regrouping as well as problem solving. This unit is critical for building our math foundation as mathematicians so we don't want to rush it!
