The latest…

  • Math test tomorrow!  I posted the study guide last week and we went through the questions today (I changed the numbers for the practice in class).  The subtraction problem is tricky.  I am not allowing them to do the traditional method for this question.  We haven’t practiced borrowing enough to rely on for a test grade.  We have been using a few other strategies.  Here is a description of the most popular ones:  subtraction strategies
  • A big thanks to Trent’s Mom and Bilal’s Mom for coming through with gallon size Ziploc bags 🙂
  • I posted last week about the 100th day of school coming up on Monday, February 22nd.  A paper copy of the note came home today!  We ask students to make a poster of 100 things.  It can be any size!! They are encouraged to sort their items in to equal groups or an array so that they can write a repeated addition sentence or multiplication sentence on their poster. Students will present their poster to the group and then we will hang them in the hallway.  Here are a few pictures of past projects:  photo 2photo 1
