Last week, students took the Chapter 7 Post-Test and Chapter 8 Pre-test. Students did much better on the Chapter 7 Post-Test after filling in some gaps. Students also did well on the Chapter 8 Pre-test but struggled with applying the concepts in word problems. We began Chapter 8, “Count and Compare Numbers to 1,000” on Wednesday, with a focus on the word problems.  

In Chapter 8, 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.
