Week of 9/28 - 10/2

What we are Learning This Week

Math: Ms. Shell

Blue Group

We will be spending a couple weeks covering addition and subtraction with whole numbers! We will primarily focus on equations that require quite a bit of regrouping, especially when subtracting acorss zeros. We will use base-10 blocks and virtual maniputlives, so students can concrete see why we compose and decompose place value positions. We will also work on estimating first, that way we have a target number to be close to and check the reasonableness of our answers. 

Yellow Group

We will extend our learning from the first module on place value understanding to understand decimal place value. We wil work on reading and writing decimals to the thousandths using standard form, expanded form, and word form. We will always connect back to fractions to help us understand the value of the numbers we are working with.
