Hi Parents,
This week we will focusing a bit on rounding to the nearest hundreds, thousands, ten thousand, etc. We will also go over adding and subtracting multi-digit numbers while regrouping as well as subtracting across multi-digit numbers containing values of zero in different place values. This can be tricky with regrouping. We also will connect these standards to word problems.

What does our math class look like?
We start the morning with whole group warm-up activities. The bulk of our time is spent with me teaching small group instruction to each math group while the rest of the class is working in rotations. Students will be working in different rotations each day. Rotations include interactive notebook examples, problem solving in their journals, worksheets, games, and interactive activities. All students were given a new account with Prodigy. Unfortunately, we will not have Ten Marks this year as Amazon is doing away with it. All students keep examples of the standards they are working on in their interactive notebooks. They should be bringing these notebooks home for review each week. Students should also be bringing home their agendas and CJ's each day and bringing them back to school each morning. Please check the agenda for homework and initial the agenda when the homework has been completed. Homework will start this week. All homework is due on Friday. We have been working on creating, interpreting, and making comparisons with tally charts, picture graphs, and bar graphs. We will finish up graphs by looking at line plots. Graphs will be studied throughout the year and will appear on most of the unit assessments. This week we will also working on place value through the millions. We will work with base ten blocks and how to write numbers in standard (764,981), extended (700,000 + 60,000 + 4,000+900+80+1) and word forms. (seven hundred sixty four thousand nine hundred eighty one). We will also be learning the difference between value (how much a digit is worth) and place value (where a digit sits in a multi-digit number). Students will also work on understanding that with a multi digit number, a digit in any one place represents ten times what it represents in the place to its right. For example, recognize that 700 ÷ 70 = 10 by applying concepts of place value and division. Lastly, we will also be comparing numbers and rounding numbers. Hi Parents, We are starting with our first unit this week. There is a unit letter attached that explains more about the standards that we will address in the unit. We will also review some graphing skills this week with bar graphs, pictographs and line plot graphs.
