During our first week of math class, we worked on the following skills and activities:
Our first check-up is Tuesday, September 22nd. It will cover place value, standard form, word form, and expanded form.
Our second check-up is Thursday, September 24th. It will cover rounding, ordering, and comparing whole numbers and decimals.
We will take the place value post-test some time during the week of October 1st. Check back for more updates!
- Problem solving: We played a “Leap Frog” game that required the students to use logical thinking, as well as guess, check, and revise strategies to solve the frog’s dilemma. You can play a similar (slightly more challenging) version here.
- Place Value: We learned whole number place value positions to the hundred billions, and decimal place value positions to the thousandths.
- Standard form: We practiced writing numbers in their normal, number form (234).
- Word form: We practiced writing numbers using words (two hundred thirty-four).
- Expanded form: We practiced writing numbers using the digit’s value (200 + 30 + 4).
- Number lines: We’ve begun to place positive and negative numbers on a number line—including decimals!
- Multiplication facts: We’ve been assessing our multiplication knowledge and reviewing math facts. More specific math fact practice will come home in the coming days, but students can find practice games here and here. A math newsletter explaining the importance of having a solid foundation of all math facts is also attached to the right.
