Rocket Math

Rocket Math 

This year your child will participate in Rocket Math.  This program is a research-based, sequential program for learning basic addition/subtraction and multiplication/division math facts.  Students begin with Addition Rocket Math Level A.  Three days a week they will take a 2 minute timed test with 40 problems.  You can see which problems will be added at each level on the Rocket Math Sequence Chart (attached at the bottom of the page).  Each child has a goal of successfully completing 38/40 problems correctly.  When your child reaches his/her goal on Level A, they move to Level B.  This pattern continues through Level Z.  Then, your child will move on to Subtraction Rocket Math Level A.  If your child finishes both Addition and Subtraction, he or she will move on to Multiplication.  

We will do Rocket Math three days a week (Monday, Tuesday and Thursday).  As part of your child's homework, please be sure to practice Rocket Math facts for the level your child is on (and all previous levels).  The more practice your child gets at home, the better they will do at school.  There are flashcards that you can download below, or you can also visit www.rocketmath.net and order their flashcards.
