November 26- December 3

• Grade 3/4- I would like to see everyone continue working on their math facts each night.  The gr. 4's should be reviewing multiplication facts up to 9x9 each night.  I will send home a multiplication handout next week with the grade 3's. Our focus in this grade is understanding the concept of what multiplication means by working with arrays, equal groupings (pictures), repeated addition, and skip counting.  The 4's are learning 2 and 3 digit by 1 digit multiplication problems as well. I will introducing division in the next week or so. 
• Grade 6- should be reviewing math facts nightly.  I told the class they were having a small quiz on factors, multiples, prime, and composite numbers tom. (Friday).  They have been starting to work with multiplication of decimals.  Estimation of where the decimal goes is a focus within this outcome. The students need to say to themselves "What makes sense here?"
