Parents + Student + Teacher = Student

Success!

Dear Parents,
Math class has begun!
Your child participated in an activity called “Mad Minute,” actually they had
three minutes, where they had to attempt to complete 50 multiplication
problems in that time. The grade that is on the paper will not be averaged
into their report card grade, but simply used a snapshot to see how your
child is doing at this moment.
The fifth grade math curriculum is rigorous and if your child has their basic
multiplication facts mastered it will make future concepts less challenging.
To that end, we will have another scheduled “Mad Minute” exercise on
Wednesday, September 24 and this grade will be averaged into their report
card grade.
If you get a chance, stop by our class website where there are online
resources for you and your child. I will send home another letter explaining
the details on how to access this website.
Thank you for all that you do!
Sincerely,

Mr. Howell
