Hi Everyone,
I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. We ended up having to do a lot of diagnostic testing last week. Hopefully we will have a more normal instructional week.
We will have Open House this Thursday. Mrs. Peters and I will send you a link to join us for the meeting. The meeting starts at 6:00 and will be an hour long.
For example; 40 hundreds is equal to 40 x 100 which equals 4,000.
3 thousands + 53 tens + 7 ones=3 x 1,000 + 53 x 10 + 7 x 1=3,000 + 530 + 7= 3,537
We will also learn about comparing numbers using >, <, and = symbols. At the end of the week we will learn strategies for rounding numbers to any place. We will have our first math quiz next week.
The only homework this week is for students to take the Star Math Test. This test is a diagnostic similar to the i-Ready diagnostic that students took at school this week. Students should work alone without any help. Please do not give your child any help. Just tell then to look carefully at all of the answer choices and make their best guess. Students are allowed to use notebook paper but can not use any other tools like calculators or rulers. The results of the test will be better help me zero in on skills and standards that your child needs help with. In this way when I begin to pull small groups for math it will be productive learning for each child. To access the test students will need to log into One View. Then click on Blended Learning. Scroll down the list and find Renaissance Learning. Click on Star Math and begin working. Students should work for 20-30 minutes each day until the test is completed. If we do not finish the test this week, I will make it an assignment on next weeks homework.
Monday: Work on Star Math Test
