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. With any additional time, we will continue to work on rounding 5-6 digit numbers to the nearest ten, hundreds, thousand, ten thousand, and hundred thousands.

Simple Solutions Quiz Update:

This year, students will take a Simple Solutions quiz bi-weekly, which means they will have two quizzes each month. Each quiz will consist of 15 questions that align with the homework they have completed that week—some even identical to the homework questions! Students will receive a quiz sheet with 15 boxes to show their work and answer the questions, just like their homework. The quizzes will be graded out of 15 points. We will grade the homework in class, giving students the opportunity to discuss any questions or review their work together before the quiz. The graded quizzes will come home the following Wednesday, so please be sure to review your child's work to help support their math understanding at home!
