Math
1. Complete the Espark Math Assignment on Time.
Have your child login, then they click on the green math assignment button. This is estimated to be a 60 minute lesson, so they may do half of it today and complete the other half tomorrow for math work.

This might be a bit of a challenge since it is telling time to the increments of 5 minutes, but we thought it would be a good challenge for them! Please do not stress if they struggle.

If you feel it is too hard they can complete Big Math Book pages 377-378.
