Math test

Lexi had a math test on Thursday.  They were doing simple addition and subtraction.  I think she was kind of nervous about it.  The worksheet she brought home to practice with made her pretty anxious. She did half the subtraction problems as addition ones - and got them right, if they really were additions.  When we talked through what the minus sign meant, though, she knew and I gave her a way to handle the problems that seemed to help.  She said she did fine on the test; I am sure she did.

I sure don't remember doing this much math in kindergarten - I think all we did was counting.
