Today we worked on LCM all day! We have our first quiz tomorrow! Students were told to bring home their SLOT books and their binders to use as study tools. Look in the classwork section for today’s practice. Did you solve the riddle “Why Did Igor Spend 10 Years Studying Geology?”

Also, please take a look at your ISN. Make sure all of your coloring with a purpose is caught up and that you have created your cover!

Half way through the week!

Today we worked more in our number systems unit on the topic of LCM. We reviewed Cornell Notes from yesterday, check the LCM activity from yesterday, and we also played another LCM game!

In our ISN today we worked on math talk bubbles (p.3, 4, 5, 6). We added some additional information to this page, please color with a purpose tonight.

If you’d like to receive text message reminders from Mrs. Klemetson and Ms. Peltz, there is a Remind101 flyer attached. It will also be handed out tonight at open house. We will use Remind as well as the iBlog to keep everyone informed of the happenings in math class!

*We hope to see everyone tonight!*

Happy Monday!

Today we started using our S.L.O.T  (Sustained Learning Over Time) booklets. We dated our boxes through Thursday. Friday, we will have a quiz on the SLOT work we have done this week. We also did some extra practice on Least Common Multiple (LCM) which can be found in the classwork section of the 1″ binder. To finish up number systems for today, we played a game with dice to practice finding multiples.

For our Interactive Student Notebooks today we talked about why they are useful and rules for making our ISN’s complete. We taped the grading rubric to the front cover, please note the rubric includes due dates for the whole year.

No homework tonight!

TGIF!

Today in math we completed our ISN set up. We added Words Worth Knowing (WWK) pages, our slot pockets, a space for plickers, and started our first activity-“Five Important Things About Math Class.” If you did not finish coloring with a purpose please do that this weekend.

We also took a Five Minute Frenzy multiplication quiz. We will be charting our progress throughout the year!

 

Have a great weekend 🙂
