Math Super Pack: Term 1

Purchase one term (16 weeks) of math classes for only $10.25/session!* This includes:

Orangutans Count, Order, and Add (4 weeks)
Orangutans sometimes make loud howls and bellows that can be heard from miles away! They also use their fingers (and toes!) to count, order, and add.
Students locate positive and negative whole numbers on a number line by scaling the number line by powers of ten
Students round numbers to the tens place and compare whole numbers up to 1000
Students identify a missing part (addend) when given one part (addend) and a whole (sum) from 3 to 1000
Students add and subtract positive whole numbers on a number line using their own strategies

Addition Fluency with African Wild Dogs (4 weeks)
When it comes to African Wild Dogs, addition is essential. This is because they have red, black, brown, yellow, and white patches of fur—and no two dogs have the same markings. If they want to remember what their friends look like, they have to remember exactly how many patches they have, and what colors. Let’s get adding!
 
Students develop fluency with addition and subtraction of whole numbers by choosing two numbers with a target sum
Students round numbers to the tens place and estimate the sums of integers
 
My Hippopotamus Hones Multiplication Skills (4 weeks)
Hippos (as they are more commonly known) are considered the second-largest land animal on Earth, second only to the elephant. They can weigh up to 7,000 lbs (3200 kg), which is as much as three small cars! To make sure they’re eating enough to keep up this massive reputation, they mastered multiplication.
 
Students use various tools and groupings to develop an understanding of multiplication and division
Students double known basic facts to find the product of more challenging basic facts
Students add or remove a group to or from a known basic fact to determine the product of another basic fact
Students use known basic facts and double one factor and halve the other to determine the product of a more challenging problem
 
Meet Multiplication Automaticity and Asian Elephants (4 weeks)
Asian Elephants like to meet in big groups (though not as big as the savannah elephants) for parties. At these parties, they need to make sure they have the exact count of elephants. The Asian elephant is the largest land mammal on the Asian continent, and it’s especially talented at multiplication automaticity (to keep track of the parties, of course).
 
Students use the sum of two known basic facts to determine the product of a more challenging problem
Students build arrays and use partial products to “cover” a rectangular area model of multiplication up to 12x12
Students determine factors and products using a table and common ratios (such as 4 tires for every 1 car)
Students multiply 0, 1, 5, and 10 by numbers 1-10 and 11-100
Students multiply 2, 4, and 8 by numbers 1-10 and 11-20
