Math
In math we are learning about fractions. We have started finding equivalent fractions and are beginning to compare and order fractions. The next step will be mixed numbers and improper fractions. We have used many different things to represent fractions while finding equivalent fractions. To practice fractions on a number line we have played a battleship game (the students favorite.)
Pumpkin Math is this week. The students will use the pumpkins to practice measuring, skip counting, adding and subtracting decimals to find prices. We will be measuring the circumference, the weight, finding the price, and the number of seeds using a counting method. It will be a fun filled day of pumpkin guts!
Social Studies
This week we are starting back with social studies. We are focusing on the four regions of Texas and the Native American who settled the land. The students will be creating murals of the regions.
