Math
This week in our Rational Numbers unit mathematicians worked on investigating and problem solving dividing sub sandwiches into groups. The big idea of fractions we learned about are:
- you can think of fractions as division
- when naming a piece, the whole matters (1/2, 1/3, 1/4...)
- the size of the whole matters
Please remember to practice math facts!
Geometry
Please refer to the parent letter that went home Thursday about our Geometry unit. Students will be participating in flipped lessons. The Week 1 assignment is due by next Friday. Instructions on how to access Pearson were sent home as well. All assignments will be located in Google Classroom and emailed out to parents. This coming week we will focus on Lines, Rays, and Angles!
