Math: Mrs. Bennett

This week in Math class students will be taking the Math MAP test! Students will test for 25 - 30 minutes each day. Afterwards, they will have a brain break before going to their next class. When discussing with students how to help them be successful during testing week, they shared knowing they will get a long break to play afterwards was helpful! If there is additional time, we will review multiply 2-digit by 2-digit numbers using area model, partial products, and regrouping. All students must be fluent is using regrouping because it is essential when we begin to multiply decimal numbers.
