Venus: First Grade Math Super Stars
Every week print off a sheet of problems, found below. Have your child turn the sheet into his or her
teacher by the due date. Due dates can be found by clicking Math Super Stars in the bar on the left,
or in the drop down menu, Math Super Stars Dates, which slide out to the right of the navigation bar.
The student's name and teacher's name should be written on each sheet turned in.
Please Note: Reading the problem to your child is always okay. The Super Star sheets say: "This
shows my own thinking". We are pleased Sippican students are doing these extra pages voluntarily.
If they ask for help and get it--GREAT! They have learned something and advanced their math
knowledge. Let your student wrestle with the problem for a period of time (as appropriate by grade
level, perhaps several days), then help him or her with leading questions or hints. If your student is
still stuck, walk him or her through the problem, he or she will be a stronger mathematician for doing
this work.
