UNDERSTANDING PLACE VALUE
Understand that the three digits of a three-digit number represent amounts of hundreds, tens, and ones; e.g., 706 equals 7 hundreds, 0 tens, and 6 ones. Understand the following as special cases:
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.2.NBT.A.1.A
100 can be thought of as a bundle of ten tens — called a "hundred."
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.2.NBT.A.1.B
The numbers 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, 800, 900 refer to one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, or nine hundreds (and 0 tens and 0 ones).
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.2.NBT.A.2
Count within 1000; skip-count by 5s, 10s, and 100s.
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.2.NBT.A.3
Read and write numbers to 1000 using base-ten numerals, number names, and expanded form.
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.2.NBT.A.4
Compare two three-digit numbers based on meanings of the hundreds, tens, and ones digits, using >, =, and < symbols to record the results of comparisons.
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.2.NBT.B.8
Mentally add 10 or 100 to a given number 100-900, and mentally subtract 10 or 100 from a given number 100-900.

Raz-Kids


What is Raz-Kids?
(a product of Learning A-Z)

Raz-Kids is an interactive reading tool for students to practice reading fluency and comprehension.

This is an easy tool that your child can use to improve reading skills in school, at home, or wherever they have access to a computer.  The best thing about Raz-Kids is that it can be accessed as often as you want and can be used as the nightly reading that you record in your child's planner.

Each student will have an account set up and a letter will be sent home about accessing the site.

The students will login using an assigned password to get into their reading account.  I am able to monitor the students' progress and reading level. These levels are all individually based on each child's reading level and are adjusted to reflect their abilities.

The students can access resources through "Reading Assignment" and individualized assigned assessments in "Flight Check".
The “Control Panel” is where you find messages from your teacher/parents and the “Star Zone”.
