Problem Types
As students work on solving story problems, we have begun introducing picture representation of different problem types. You may find the document below helpful in understanding what your child is drawing! :)
Teaching Multiplication and Division at Home...
*****Attention Parents****** Are you wondering what we are teaching students in Math? Does your child "forget" how it's dont at school when trying to practice at home? If so, this video may be just for you.
I apologize for anyone who despises video math lessons, I really do. But this video from LearnZillion does a very nice job of explaining how we teach multiplication as equal groups! Please go to the link if you'd like to learn more :)
(We teach multiplication as "groups of ___" Ex: 3 x 4 is read as "3 groups of 4" and can be interpreted as 4+4+4 if a student is unsure of their multiplication fact.

Rounding Exploration
Today we watched this video to remember some tricks for rounding! :)
Quadrilateral Exploration
Students worked together to create posters that informed themselves and their peers about Quadrilaterals. See what they looked like here!
Follow this link to get to a printable version of a multiplication table as well as a partially filled version and the answer sheet! :)
Your student should be able to fill out a multiplication table like this by the end of October.
