*Math Mid Module 3 Quiz

This week in math we will complete our study of division strategies. Students will learn how to divide using the multiplying up strategy, area model, partial quotients, and distributive properties to solve division problems (please the models below).

Partial Quotients

Students had their first timed quiz last Friday. After discussion with the other math teachers, we decided to only give the students 25 questions with 3 minutes of work time. Our next two quizzes will be just like the one last week. After that we will move to 50 questions with a 5 minute time limit.

*NBT.2.6 Division (due Tuesday 10/20)

*Facts Practice (due Friday)

*OA.1.2 Multiplicative Comparison Word Problems (due Friday)

This week in science we will take our test on Unit 6 Matter and Its Changes. In this unit we have learned the difference between physical and chemical changes in matter. Students are familiar with the chemical changes of rusting, burning and decay. Many students are not familiar with the chemical change of tarnish. Tarnish happens when metals such as silver and copper are exposed to air. A famous example is the Statue of Liberty. When France gave the statue to the United States it was a brownish color similar to the color of a penny. Over time the copper statue has turned the green color that we see today.
