Week of February 22-25

• Grade 3- the students have been doing a great job working with increasing and decreasing patterns.  They have remembered the 3 key parts when explaining a pattern....The pattern rule is it starts at 150 and adds 25 each time.  The students need 1) starting point 2) adding or subtracting 3) the amount. We are now working on representing data with tallys, line plots, and tables/charts.  The grade 3's have also been learning how to interpret information from bar graphs and this week we will be learning to construct them.  Please continue to practice facts nightly.
• Grade 4- the students have been looking at patterns in multiplication charts, 100's charts, and patterns in tables.  The grade 4's started working with pictographs and bar graphs last week and we will continue to work on  this concept this week.  It is very important to be working on their multiplication/division facts to 81 nightly.
• Grade 6- we have been working on input/output tables and finding the pattern rules within these tables. The 6's learned how to plot ordered pairs onto a Cartesian plane and then we worked on finding a pattern, creating a table with that information, and then graphing that information.  I will be assessing them on these outcomes Thursday, Feb. 25.  Please work on math facts nightly.
• Have a great week everyone!

Week of Feb. 8-12

• I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend!
• Gr.3- I would like everyone to be continuing to work on their adding/subtracting facts to 18 on a nightly basis. Parents, you could also practice skip counting in the evenings by 3's, 4's and 5's.  I will be sending home their quizzes on measurement and perimeter tom. Please sign and return.  We have been working on increasing and decreasing patterns over the last couple of weeks and will be having an assessment on these outcomes on Thursday.  Our class will be looking at organizing data and displaying that data in bar graphs this week too.
• Gr 4-  please keep working on your nightly multiplication/division facts to 81.  The 4's have been working with patterns too, but we are looking at patterns in charts and tables.  The 4's will also be reviewing how to make bar graphs and they will learn how to create pictographs.
• Gr.6- great job on our quiz last week!  I have explained to the students on multiple occasions how important it is to take your time and follow the formula step by step.  We are looking at the relationships within tables of values to solve problems and the ability to represent and describe patterns and relationships using graphs and tables.
• Have a super week everyone.
