Monday September 22nd

Happy Monday!!

The students have a new spelling list and will have a test on Friday.

The math for today is continuing with dividing using the place value chart and the standard algorithm. However, we are having "remainders" and rather than writing R and the number, we are sending our remainder number disks to the right, converting them into 10 number disks of the lesser value on the chart. For instance 1 tenth is the same as 10 hundredths. This way, we do not end up with a remainder at the end. When you are doing the problems with the standard algorithm, you add another zero or multiple zeroes to the end of the number that is being divided, until you no longer have a remainder.




Progress reports will be coming out this week! Keep an eye out for your students!

Thanks!
Mrs. C
