Today in math I snapped some photographs of some of the independent work students are completing while I work with students in small math groups. This week, in groups, we are focusing on division word problems. Independently and with partners, students are reviewing subtraction, solving word problems, completing BCRs and playing multiplication games like "Eggs and Nests". Some of this work gets reviewed by the whole class, some in small group and some is checked by the teacher.
Some students have not demonstrated mastery of the four topics we focused on prior to multiplication and division. There topics are: rounding, addition of 3 digit numbers, subtraction of three digit numbers and word problems with multiple steps. This week, practice packets will be coming home so that those students can continue to practice the concept and reach mastery. The packets can be done in place of the weekly challenge. Students who bring them in completed will receive a prize from their teacher!!!
Some important reminders:
