Week of September 14-18

• Wow! What a great first week back to school.  I would like to thank everyone for attending the "Meet the Teacher" night.
• Grade 6 math- I would encourage everyone to continue working on their multiplication and divisions facts this week for homework....10 min a night would be great.
• This week we are reviewing basic skills and we are looking at different ways to represent numbers greater than one million.  The standard form of a number is the number itself.  Ex.  7 845 223.  The expanded form of a number looks at the place value of each digit.  Ex: 7 000 000 + 800 000+ 40 000+ 5000+ 200 + 20 + 3.  And the written form of the number  is the number in words.  Ex:  seven million eight hundred forty-five thousand two hundred twenty-three.

• Grade 3/4 math-  I would ask both grades to be practicing their adding and subtracting facts to 18 each night this week for homework.  This is so very important!  
• This week Grade 3 will be learning ways to represent numbers to 1000 and the grade fours will be representing numbers to 10 000.  The standard form of  a number is simply the number itself. Ex. 8954.  The expanded form of a number looks at the place value of each digit. Ex: 8000+ 900+50+4.  The written form of a number is the number in words. Ex: eight thousand nine hundred fifty-four.
• Have a great week everyone!
