Math Corner- NF.3c & d- FRACTIONS Adding and Subtracting mixed numbers
Focus Calendar Snip-it review lesson for this week: 4.OA3 (Multi-step word problems)
* Check their agenda daily and make sure they are completing their weekly homework-assigned Monday, DUE Friday
*On Thursdays, make sure your child is studying and looking over their Math 4 Today, especially any that they had difficulty with. We do 4 boxes a day and check at the beginning of our block.*** If you have noticed -the actual weekly quiz is now on the back of our daily Math 4 Today. It is my hope maybe this will help students study more carefully. They need to be reviewing those problems that they have not mastered.
*If you have internet access have your child log onto his/her account and practice math fact fluency and math skills tailored to your child’s strengths and weaknesses
mobymax.com and xTramath.org
*Continue practicing multiplication and division fluency
