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
