A very warm welcome to Grade 5R. I am very excited to have this wonderful group of students with me this year. Over the next two terms we will be working assiduously towards each and every student meeting their SEA 2020 goals.
We continue to focus on ensuring that our youngsters understand the underlying concepts and not only the "how to" of solving a problem. Practice, practice, practice is key, and we are going to be getting lots of it. In addition to the sessions dedicated strictly to teaching, students will find that most of the knowledge and experience gained this term and in term 2 will be achieved through assessments, practice tests and the corrections process. On that note, I wish to emphasize how extremely critical corrections are at this stage of the game.
As they transition from term 1 to term 2 we will start to work on speed, ensuring that they are well equipped to complete tasks to time. All of the techniques that they have learnt through their time at Maria Regina will come in to play. This applies to all of the core subjects.
In Math, we stress once again the importance of their tables and encourage them to recite at home as well. This includes multiplication, fractions/decimals/percentages, square and cube tables. Fluency in their tables helps with, not only solving problems, but doing so quickly.
