MATH Update - from Ms. Helgemo
- How to find the area of a rectangle with fractional side lengths by using the tiling method or multiplication (I have promoted the tiling method as being the best for now because not all students are secure with multiplying fractions, and this isn't a skill we address until the late winter/early spring)
- How to find the volume of a rectangular prism by counting cubes as well as using the volume formula of A=L x W x H
There will be a short math quiz on Wednesday addressing those two topics. We will review in class Tuesday, but students should review these concepts by going through their graded Home Links.
