Consolidating and Prioritizing Lessons
I found the overview of math lessons very helpful. It has been somewhat stressful to look at what is left to teach and how little time is left to get it all in. I am curious to know why we can skip all of Topic 12 if we run out of time. In prior years the addition and subtraction taught in Topic 12 was the main work of the second grade. Is this now a third grade skill and we are only exposing students to the beginning mechanics? Regrouping in subtraction is lesson 12.10. I know that our students will need to know how to regroup on the third grade CMTs. How will this impact the third grade teachers who will now have to take on the majority of the teaching of regrouping? I understand that second graders are exposed to the concepts needed to be good math thinkers and maybe the transition to paper pencil tasks will be very easy for them. Is anyone else teaching regrouping (supplementing)?

Did somebody say supplementing? :) Shelley, I would highly suggest that you speak with Kristen Funk about this question. She is very familiar with the 3rd grade Growing with Math Program. She will be able to give you a tremendous amount of insight into all of the questions you posed in this posting.
