Math with Ms. Morrow
A mathematicians newsletter
Reminder!!
Homework is due this MONDAY May 4th, in class! We will go over the questions and talk about any that the students had problems with.
This week in math
We are focusing on measurement of all types. This includes customary (inches, feet, yards) and metric (grams, kg, meters, km, etc.) Please support your children's learning by pointing out measurements in everyday life or letting them help you with that spring project.
Students made a conversion fan in class to help them study and guide them with homework.
New Homework will be sent out today and will be due Monday May 11. (That is 9 days.)
