Math

This week we will continue Unit 2: Decimals. We will continue to focus on decimal place value, number name form, expanded form, base-ten numeral form, comparing decimals, and rounding decimals. Standards: MCC5.NBT.1-4 We will have a quiz (which will be taken as a test grade) covering this material on Friday.

Division Math Challenge: Students will have 3 minutes to complete 81 out of 90 division problems. (Single digit factors 0-9; dividends through 81) January 27th and May 4th

Please make sure your child is studying their division facts daily. Fluency in math facts is very crucial and will help your student tremendously in solving everyday problems in math.

Don’t forget to wear tennis shoes on the days you go to PE!
