Before the break, we finished up Chapter 11, “Measure and Estimate Lengths,” and started Chapter 12, “Solve Length Problems.” In this short chapter, your student is learning to solve word problems that involve adding and subtracting lengths. 

This week, students will solve length word problems to find missing measurements and then have a review day of solving a variety of word problems involving adding and subtracting length. On Thursday, we will take the Chapters 11 and 12 Post-Test. On Friday, we will take the Chapter 13 Pre-test, “Represent and Interpret Data.” Based on how the students perform on the Chapter 13 pre-test, I will determine what lessons will need to be taught the following week.
