Math
We started a new unit of study this week, Multiplication and Division! We are off to a great start by...
- multiplying by multiples of 10, 100, and 1,000
- (i.e. 5 x 3 = 15, so 5 x 30 = 150, and 5 x 300 = 1,500)
- estimating product by rounding
- (i.e. 834 x 5 rounds to 800 x 5 = 4,000)
- multiplying with the Distributive Property
- 4 x 351 = (4 x 300) + (4 x 50) + (4 x 1)
Please remember to have students practice math facts nightly! Math facts are the foundation to success in this unit! You can do this with flash cards, Xtra Math or triangle cards at home. If you need triangle cards, please send me an email.
Students are also assigned Online Practice Buddies. Although optional, these are highly encouraged as they are a great way for students to practice the concepts being taught at home!
