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!
