We’re working on whole number computation and number relationships in math class.  The students have demonstrated proficiency in addition and subtraction of large numbers, so we’ve moved on to factors and multiples.

Multiples: skip counting by a number
Example: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, etc.

Factors: two numbers that can be multiple together to get a product (answer)
For example, the factors of 12 are: 1 and 12, 2 and 6, 3 and 4
 
In math class over the past two weeks, we explored place value relationships in more depth.  The students became proficient at reading and writing large numbers and decimals, comparing and ordering numbers, representing numbers in different ways, and placing whole numbers, decimals, and fractions on a number line (include negative numbers).  On Friday, October 2nd, we took the first post-test.  The students did an amazing job.  Make sure you ask your child to see his/her post-test when they come home on Wednesday, October 7th.
