I was excited to go to the concert at NOVA last night, so I forgot to post the homework! Once again, it's a busy week so be forgiving if your child is behind. I will still mark the assignments as missing in TeacherEase to remind them it's not in, just aim to get all homework in before break so y'all can enjoy it fully! AND the concert was fantastic!!!!
Wednesday: Pizza Applications, Due Thursday
Practicing multiplication of fractions using fractions. Have them look for the wording so it becomes easier to see when to multiply. You can help by having them write any new wording in their Notes Book!
Thursday: Guess the Number, Due Friday
We have done quite a few of these in school this year, so it's not new if they have embraced that work. It gives them practice putting clues together by using vocabulary. All are solvable with the clues given.
So how can you help?
*I recommend writing blanks when you determine the number of place values. A number in the thousands? 4 blanks.
*I recommend having them read through the clues first to decide which clue is best to start with. I purposefully did not put them in the best order to make their brains work a little harder. You can help them determine where to start to get things narrowed down. Helping strategize is very cool.
*Help with the vocabulary as needed, then add unknown words to their Notes Book. We have gone over these but, you know, not all of them take great notes even when told to.
*Do not, however, solve or correct these. Helping them strategize and making sure they are using the vocabulary correctly allows them to have some productive struggles that will make these types of problems easier in the future! It's a skill much greater than math itself. ;-)
