Past Week
Welcome back to Gifted Math!
I know we have been in school a couple of weeks now, and I hope that everyone has had a great start to the new year! In math, we started the year by learning to divide unit fractions by whole numbers and by dividing whole numbers by unit fractions. We used fraction bars, models, number lines, and the standard algorithm to divide. Our first daily grade was earlier this week and our first math test was yesterday, please look for those graded assignments in your student's Friday folder or math folder.
Upcoming Week
Next week we will start learning about two dimensional figures. This unit is very vocabulary heavy as students will be required to learn the attributes of the figures and then classify them into subcategories based on these properties. We will start with polygons and move into triangles.
A new CML was sent home today. It is due next Friday, Jan. 27th.
Have a great weekend!
Students will need their devices for math class on Friday, January 27th and Monday, January 30th.
