All inventions are due on Monday, April 13th.
Math- This week we will begin a multiplication unit. It is really important for the children to know their math facts. Please have the students review their facts each night. We will begin the unit by multiplying numbers with multiples of 10. They will learn to estimate and use compatible numbers to help them use mental math to solve problems. The students will also multiply using 2 digits. We will begin multiplication timed tests again this week. We will start will the 7 times tables. The students have been working on their division 7 facts, so this should be easier for them. A 7 multiplication test will be given on Friday of this week.
