Math-The students will have a quiz on Tuesday of this week. They should be able to use the strategies we have used in class to solve problems. So they should be able to use a number line, area model, tile array, and ratio table. See their binder for the work they have accomplished to help them review. The students will investigate factors and factor pairs for numbers between 1 and 100. They will multiply using the commutative property.They will determine whether a whole number between 1-100 is a prime or composite number. Please help your child review their multiplication facts. This will make it easier for them as we progress through the skills and concepts they need to know. They can refer to their Math Classroom for the speed game to practice their facts.
