Math - Week of November 2
We continue our unit on multiplication! We have learned how to mulitply 2 by 2 digits and will discover some new ways to solves these problems this week. We'll continue using our knowledge to solve word problems. Please help your child practice at home if he/she is not yet an expert multiplier! Some students are slowed because they have not yet memorized the facts. Now is the time to practice!
Don't forget that challenges are due on Tuesdays with a written explanation of their strategies!
As for the challenges....as a reminder, each Tuesday, I will be giving your students a weekly challenge to work on at home throughout the week. These should come home in the TAG Tuesday folder. The challenge is designed to stretch your child's thinking. My goal is for the students to think critically and to be able to write about their strategies and their thoughts. Therefore, they will receive credit for showing that they put time and effort into solving the problem and for showing their work. The correct answer is extra!
I have also assigned an independent study to be completed before winter break. The due date is December 14. Please let me know if you have any questions regarding the project.
The kids are on a roll with firstinmath.com. If you are able to support our efforts with some prizes for our prize box, the students and I would be so grateful! Thank you to the families of Richard and Arya for starting us off!
