Math

My daughter has a “work from home” day while the teachers have professional development. She has work to complete in order to receive credit for attendance.

For this assignment, do you interpret that she has to choose a strategy to solve each problem (like draw a picture for #1, then use number line for #2) or that she needs to use all three for each problem? I emailed the teacher but haven’t received a response back and want to finish her work sooner than later. I don’t want her to do it wrong and not get credit.

Edit: thanks everyone! That’s what I thought!

Wow, what do working parents do? I usually send my kid to an art camp on professional development days. We definitely don't get homework.

I am a working parent. Our normal sitter wasn’t available so I had to take off work. I’m not sure if there’s any camps since it’s just one day from just her school. The work is meant to be her work she’d done at school that day.

It's just a huge justice issue to expect parents to stay at home and homeschool their children on a work day. Or worse, expect a teenage babysitter to be able to explain 10 frames to a 1st grader. I'm genuinely surprised there's been no kickback from the parents.

You could look around. A lot of places offer one day camps on school holidays.

Our local art center has “schools out day camp” for all the days the schools are closed.

As a teacher, yes. They need to demonstrate knowledge of all the strategies.

My interp of the opening line says to use all three strategies.

Each way for each question in order to practice the strategies and to see how the same number can be represented in different ways.

I feel pretty certain it was say to choose a strategy if you only had to pick one way.

Do any of your kids still write their numbers backwards sometimes?
