Math - We will learn our strategies for multiplication of decimals. We will use the standard algorithm along with models to solve problems. Be sure to check your student's weekly "Checkpoint". This is a quick 5 question quiz that we take each week over the current math topic. Students get 3 attempts to get the best score and master the content. You can check their progress HERE (you may need to log out of your personal email account and have the student log in through the AISD portal).
