This week in math:
At home you can help by:
We are starting Chapter 5, focusing on patterns and fluency with the multiplication table. Students will identify patterns, use the multiplication table, complete a multiplication chart, and practice problem solving.
How You Can Support at Home
Help your child build speed and confidence by practicing their fast facts in addition, subtraction, and multiplication regularly. Quick recall of these facts will make math easier and more enjoyable for them.
This week in math, we have a busy schedule! On Monday, we have our field trip. We’ll spend time reviewing Chapter 3 and then take the Chapter 3 test on Wednesday. After the test, students will take a pre-test for Chapter 4. This pre-test may feel challenging since we haven’t learned the new material yet. It would be great if you could talk at home about resilience and the importance of trying our best, even when something feels tricky.
Finally, on Friday, we’ll begin our new chapter on division!
At home, you can work on multiplication and any fast facts :)
We are continuing our work on multiplication this week, focusing on the 7, 8, and 9 times tables. Students will also be practicing the strategies we've learned so far to build their confidence and speed.
Next week, we will have our Chapter 3 test on multiplication, so this week’s practice is especially important.
To make practice fun at home, try playing Multiplication Tic Tac Toe! Attached is a game board you can either print or recreate on paper. It’s a great way to reinforce multiplication skills while enjoying some family game time.
This week in math, we are starting Chapter 3 and focusing on multiplying by 3’s, 4’s, and 6’s. On Friday, since I will be away, the class will have a review of multiplication skills with a substitute teacher.
At home, you can support your child by practicing math facts in addition, subtraction, and multiplication. There are plenty of things you can do to make it more fun, please email me if you need any help with resources!
This week in math, we are learning about the distributive property with multiplication and applying it to solve word problems. We will also review multiplication facts to prepare for our Chapter 2 test on Friday.
To support your child at home, practicing multiplication facts regularly will help build their confidence and speed. Even just a few minutes a day can make a big difference!
We have a busy week ahead! On Monday, students will take their Chapter 1 Math test as well as the MCOMP assessment, which measures math computation skills to help us understand students’ strengths and areas for growth.
Wednesday is MAPS testing day, another important assessment that guides our instruction.
We will also begin Chapter 2 in Big Ideas Math, focusing on multiplication facts and strategies. Students will practice multiplying by 1, 5, 10, 0, and themselves.
At home, you can support your child by practicing multiplication facts and skip counting to build fluency.
What are we doing this week?
We have MAPS testing this week.
We will be continuing our lessons in chapter 1. We will review 1.4 multiplying in any order, 1.5 size of equal groups, 1.6 number of equal groups, and 1.7 use number lines to divide. Next Monday, the 18th we will be reviewing chapter 1 to get ready for our test next Tuesday . A review will be sent home with your student on Friday; this is NOT homework but is a great way to review things learned in class with them to prepare them for the test.
Monday: We will be in our advocacies all day going over rules and routines for our classes
Tuesday: We will do a soft switch, this will look like practicing what it looks like going to our classes, learning routines in our core content classes, and looking at what we will be doing and learning school year. We will also be taking a pre course test to see what the students know, this will not be graded.
Wednesday: Ch 1 L1 use equal groups to multiple
Thursday: Ch 1 L2 number lines to multiple
Friday: Ch 1 L3 arrays to multiply
