Math
This week we will be covering Topic 4, Lessons 1 - 6, and 8. These are lessons showing a variety of strategies on how to multiply two-digit numbers. Next week, we will learn the actual algorithm (the actual steps that you learned as a student) for two-digit multiplication. Students will not be expected to master all of these strategies - on the final test they can use ANY strategy to find the correct answer.
Study Guide goes home Monday, 9/26
Multiplication Test: Friday, 9/30
Starting this month we will have one graded timed test a month. The September and October tests will be multiplication only - 50 problems in 5 minutes. Starting in November, division problems will be added (I will send more info about this in November).
For September, since it is the first test, students will have four opportunities to take the first test - meaning if they don't get 100% on the first try, they have three other chances (the best grade goes in Skyward). All other months there will only be one test.
First Try - Friday, 9/2
Second Try - Friday, 9/9
Third Try - Friday, 9/16
Final Attempt - Friday, 9/23
Today was the benchmark deadline for addition and subtraction on XtraMath; however, students can still work on this over the weekend. On Monday, any students who have not passed addition and subtraction will automatically by placed in the multiplication levels to begin working on that benchmark.
XtraMath Benchmark: Multiplication - Friday, 10/7
