Social Studies
We will finish up chapter one with a test on Thursday. The study guide went home last week. We will go over it on Wednesday.
Math
After spending a week learning about the relationship between multiplication and addition and talking about multiplication hints and rules, we will begin chapter 3 in our math text book. In chapter 3 we will be studying multiplication and division facts. We will begin this week looking at the relationship between multiplication and division, the properties of multiplication and continue to practice our facts. We will also spend some time doing problem solving by making a table and completing an extended written response with a t-chart. The t-chart information packet will come home this week. It is to help parents understand a t-chart is and gives examples. This will be a useful tool for when t-charts come home for homework. Also, we will be taking a x3 mad minute on Monday.
