This week in math we discussed multiplying decimals. We used three different strategies to multiply decimals (place value chart, area model, and standard algorithm of multiplication) Students understood the strategies but some struggled with multiplication fluency. Continue practicing the fluency of basic multiplication facts. The following online programs can help with this:
Math Magician (0's-10's facts)
Math Magician (fact fluency- includes all math operations)
Math Trainer
Self Correcting Multiplication Tests
In science, we continued discussing biotic and abiotic factors. Ask your child about the Environment Web activity. Click here to see the pictures for this activity.
Continue to Practice: Many students struggled with the rounding lessons. The strategy taught was the vertical number line but I will do another small group for students who still need support with rounding. Here is a Parent Handbook on the expectations for those lessons.
Looking ahead:
Science We will dig deeper into understanding Ecosystems. Discuss what your child has been learning through the course of the week.
