Place Value with Decimals

Today we spent going back and reviewing place value with decimals. You can continue to practice place value with decimals at home by looking at prices of products. Have them tell you the value of the change using the terms tenths and hundredths, ie 12 dollars and 35 cents is the same as 12 and 35 hundredths, ten dollars and 2 cents is the same as ten and two hundredths.

Grade reminder

Please check your child's binder daily for graded papers. Students may correct any assignment to bring up their grade. It is the student's responsibility to correct the assignment at home and return it to have points added back.

Double Digit Multiplication Methods (Turtlehead Method, Box Method, Lattice Method)




TURTLEHEAD METHOD






BOX METHOD








LATTICE METHOD


Update

Wow!  What a crazy first 5 weeks of school!!  We are moving right along with our learning.  We just wrapped up our Inventions and Investigations unit in Science.  Below you will see pictures of our last investigation on Chromatography also known as Color Writing.  We are now moving on to Matter and Energy.

In Math, we have covered many topics including Place Value, Rounding, Adding and Subtracting including decimals and we are now working on Multiplication.  This week we began two digit by two digit multiplication.  The students learned three different methods to solve a two digit by two digit multiplication.  I will be posting videos to explain the steps used in each method.  The students do not need to be able to use each one, but should be able to use one with efficiency to solve double digit multiplication.

Our Austin field trip is right around the corner and only about a month away.  If your child is planning to attend, please make sure that their account is paid in full by this Friday, October 17 (this includes chaperones chosen to attend.)

Finally, if you did not get a parent conference confirmation and you sent in a request, please contact me to set up a conference.

I am looking forward to the rest of this year!!!
