Changes to Grading System
Homework will be provided each week, but it will not be taken for a grade. Students will be expected to complete and turn it in as usual.
Moby Max is still required as this resource helps differentiate instruction for all learners.
Minimum requirement: twice a week for twenty minutes. Grades will include Exit Tickets and Assessments only. This will help narrow the skills that we expect all students to master per quarter. Slide8
Math Strategies for Success
Become
familiar with the area model, a different method of multiplying than you may have learned
Continue to review the place value system with your childDiscuss mathematical patterns such as 5 × 9, 50 × 90, 50 × 900Look for opportunities in daily life to discuss fractional parts of a whole (i.e. pieces of pizza, parts of an hour, distances to familiar places)Continue to practice and review multiplication and division math facts- this greatly supports work with fractions
Play
math games (monopoly,
farkle
, marbles, etc.)Slide9
