MATH
During the weeks of 12/2 and 12/9, students will be working on multiplying and dividing fractions. Special attention will be paid to estimating amounts before the computation to increase number sense. I am extremely impressed with their growing understanding of the concept.
If your student has not committed basic math facts to memory, please require them to sign on to multiplication.com and practice 15 minutes per night using Math Flash. We reviewed the site in class. It is an excellent tool for both accuracy and speed.
FYI: Each lesson in our series has tutorial assistance. Your child has access to HRW Math online. When you log in, follow the prompts at the top for Chapter and Lesson. For example, Lesson 1-7 is Chapter 1, Lesson 7. Press go. This will bring you to a multitude of resources. There is Parent Help online and Homework Help online.
