This week in Math we will:

 

At home kids can work on multiplication and division facts to help memorization. 

Hello Families, 

 

We had a great time learning about division this week!

 

Next week we will be learning about division by 2,5, and 10. We will continue to practice division strategies and fact families for multiplication and division. 

 

If you would like to practice at home, students should work on memorizing their multiplication facts and using them to help solve for division equations. 

Welcome back from Fall Break!

 

We have hit the ground running and took our Unit 4 Pre-test today.

 

This week we are going to be introducing division as arrays and how division and multiplication are related.

 

Students will also be practicing breaking down word problems and solving multi-step problems.

 

Have a great week!

Dear Families, 

 

This week we will be focusing on:

 

-Multiplication by 8 (doubles, doubles, doubles fact)

-Multiplication by 9 (ten minus one fact)

-Review all multiplication strategies

-Multiplying by 3 factors.

 

Optional work at home: Students can always practice Multiplication at home by making/finding arrays, multiplying home items, finding the total items on a grocery shelf, etc. I am happy to send multiplication sheets home to any student who wants it. 

 

Other ideas: Khan Academy and Prodigy Math are two online tools that focus on math. Khan Academy has free videos and practice for math Pre-K to Algebra. Prodigy is a paid online game where students must answer math questions to cast spells and earn prizes.

 

Sincerely, 

Marcela Thomas

Hello Families! I hope you had a great weekend. Here is what is happening this week in math class:

 

Monday: We will be learning strategies to multiply by 4 as a doubles doubles fact.

Tuesday: We will be learning strategies to multiply by 6 as a 5 plus one fact.

Wednesday: We will be learning strategies to multiply by 7.

Thursday: We will be learning strategies to multiply by 8 as a doubles doubles doubles fact.

Friday: We will work on reviewing all of our multiplication facts 0-10.

 

Have a great week!

This Friday we took our Unit 1 post-test. I am working on grading all the tests and updating the grades to IC. Students worked hard learning the basics of multiplication and division. 

 

This week we will continue to explore multiplication and focus on multiplying by 0,1,2,5, and 10. We will learn and applied the Distribute property of Multiplication and continue to practice the Commutative property of Multiplication. 

 

Have a great week,

Hello Families, 

 

I was able to see our students actively using different strategies for multiplication in class last week! They have been doing a great job diving into math and working together to explore.

 

This week we will be learning and discussing division strategies. We will practice multiplication and division fact families. We will also review multi-digit addition and subtraction with carrying.

 

Have a wonderful week,

Hello families, 

 

Our class had a great first week of school. We got to know each other, and we competed our Pre-Test for 3rd grade. Students did a great job showing RISE.

 

This upcoming week we will do our Unit 1 pre-test and start our first unit. We will be discussing multiplication using equal groups, number lines, and arrays. We will discuss different strategies to find the product of a multiplication equation, and, at the end of the week, we will start introducing division as equal groups.

 

On Friday, students will be taking their MAP math testing.

 

Have a wonderful week, 

 

Marcela Thomas
