Place Value

September 27, 2015 Students are practicing place value with the understanding of how it relates to fractions and decimals. Multiplication and division facts are practiced daily. Many students are doing challenges on a regular schedule. If students are not bringing them home, I will begin doing some activities that will lead into regular homework. I have told students this. So a group will continue with academic choice on challenges and another group will begin some regular homework. I will have the students log it in the planners, if they are required to do the homework.

We had a very nice start to this school year, especially in math.  Each student worked hard to her or his personal best. The enthusiasm is strong. Remember that Sprints are not designed for students to always complete the whole activity.   Each student learns differently.  The pacing is not always the same.  If you see an incomplete page, you are welcome to do more with your child.  The motivation to do more should come from your child.
