On Monday, the children will bring home their corrected math quizzes. In order to move to the next quiz they need to have no more than 2 problems wrong. In addition, they need to finish the quiz within a certain time. (I don't tell them what the time is, because that tends to stress them out. :o(
The children corrected their own quizzes this afternoon using an answer key. This weekend, I will review the quizzes and add a score to it written as a fraction - the number correct over the total number of problems. Many children completed their quiz accurately, however, most of them did not complete the quiz quickly enough. If I write "You got it!" on the quiz, they passed and will go on to the next quiz (+1,+2,+3). Those children will receive 3+ flashcards to study for that quiz. They should cut the flashcards out and begin studying Monday night.
If I write "Keep studying" or "Study harder so you can go faster" on the quiz, the child needs to keep studying +2 so they can complete the first quiz more quickly. (If anyone needs new +2 flashcards, they are welcome to them.) I have emphasized to the children that I don't want them to worry, I just want them to study hard.
The next quiz will be given next Friday. (Typically quizzes will be given twice each week - Tuesdays and Fridays. We ran out of time today to make that possible.)
As always, don't hesitate to contact me with any questions or concerns.
