I left my math homework at school yesterday so we didn't have a blog post : (
We have a new spelling list! 5 minutes of studying a day goes a long way.
Any time your student has a few minutes, have them read their A.R. book, read to them, you read one page they read one page, etc.
For our math yesterday and moving into lesson 12 today and tomorrow, the concept of it is multiplication. They do not teach the students multiplication ONLY in the standard way. They want to give them different ways to solve multiplication problems. This is great because it allows students to use multiple ways and decide which one works best for them.
This assignment has the students use place value charts and area models.
When it says 4 groups of 5 hundredths, we are literally drawing 4 groups of 5 number disks in the hundredths part of the place value chart. If you can group ten, it moves over as 1 tenth (since we cant technically write 10 tenths).
In the area model, the students are basically breaking up the number such as 6.79 and multiplying 4 by each number. When using this, make sure you have your students pay special attention to the place value of each number. If you multiply 7 tenths x 4, it equals 28 tenths. We write that like 2.8.
Do I want the students in my class to look at my blog to write down the answers? No! This blog was created to give information and tips to parents on how to help their students. Please please please do not simply write down the answers. I want to make sure you are understanding the concepts!
