Mrs. Page's Grade 1 Class

Here are some examples of students who have solved ICE problems.  They have included an Illustration (drawing), Calculation (plus or minus) and Explanation (answer to the question). They also figured out if it is addition or subtraction. Remember: - Addition questions often use "in total" or "all together" and involve someone bringing something or giving something to the person - Subtraction questions often use "how many left" and involve someone taking away something from the person

Sorry everyone, I’ve been trying to post some samples of ICE Word Problems, but it hasn’t been working from my mobile app. I will retry on the computer this afternoon!

Here are two examples of solving a word problem using ICE  

Hello everyone, The children are preparing for their first real Math Test!  We will have a practice quiz on Friday and then the real test next Wednesday January 30. I will send the practice quiz home for you to review with your child. The test will include: Adding Subtracting ICE word problems ‘Bonus questions’ that are trickier, but solvable using a hundreds chart or number line. Thanks for your support and happy solving! Mrs Page

A reminder to please bring your toy tomorrow for our writing project!

Here are some strategies that we have been using to add and subtract.  Students need to understand the concept of adding and subtracting, and should also begin to memorize some single-digit addition and related subtraction facts. 

Our new Math Unit covers adding and subtracting up to 20. We will practise different basic math problems using counters, number lines and hundreds charts. We will also be applying our knowledge by solving word problems. Students are encouraged to memorize some basic addition and subtraction facts to make this work easier to achieve. Students need to be able to both understand the concepts of adding and subtracting, as well as solve simple equations quickly by using their memory.

Welcome back everyone! New homework and spelling coming home today. Hope you all had a wonderful winter break!
