Last week, we focused on Chapter 7, “Understand Place Value to 1,000.” Many students showed their knowledge of Place Value on our Pre-test, so this was a short unit, filling in some gaps in knowledge. We focused on these concepts:  

• Identifying the value of each digit, depending on whether the digit is in the ones, tens, or hundreds place.  
• Identifying groups of tens as hundreds. 
• Read and write numbers up to 1,000 in standard form (for example, 262), expanded form (for example, 200 + 60 + 2), and word form (for example, two-hundred sixty-two). 
• Represent numbers in different ways. 

This week, students take the Chapter 7 Post-Test, and Chapter 8 Pre-Test. Chapter 8, “Count and Compare Numbers to 1,000” will begin on Wednesday. Your student will be using various strategies such as place value and number lines to count by ones, fives, tens, and hundreds. These strategies will help your student identify the missing numbers in a set of numbers and compare numbers to determine which one is greater or less than another number.
