Math
The students are doing a fantastic job completing their weekly homework. Each day the students are assigned 30 math problems in class. As the math concepts get more difficult the students might be bringing home more homework. Please assist your child with any questions they might have on their daily work.
Here are the lessons we will cover this week:
Tuesday - Lesson 61 - Using Letters to Identify Geometric Figures
Wednesday - Lesson 62 - Estimating Arithmetic Answers with Rounded and Compatible Numbers
Thursday - Lesson 63 - Subtracting a Fraction from a Whole Number Greater Than 1
Friday - Lesson 64 - Using Money to Model Decimal Numbers
Also, please encourage a few minutes of daily math fact practice! http://www.abcya.com is a fantastic website to sharpen those skills!
