The units that are taught are sequential and must be continuously practiced in order to build understanding and a proper foundation.
I cannot express the need for students to master addition/subtraction/multiplication and eventually division fluency! To be efficient and fluent in all that they will learn, students should not hesitate to answer questions. Any hesitation slows down the learning process and students will eventually start to struggle.
I strongly ENCOURAGE and SUGGEST daily fact fluency practice in all four operations.
Students need to understand Addition in order to understand multiplication.
Students need to understand Subtraction in order to understand division.
Students should understand that by using the inverse operation problems can be checked for accuracy.
Students need to know all 4 operations to fully understand the units in fractions.
Students will need to know all 4 operations and fraction concepts to calculate measurements.
Every Friday we will be taking Spiral Quizzes. They have a review page every week to study from. We review 4 problems every day. Right now all of the skills are based on 3rd grade standards and will slowly incorporate skills we have learned. You will start to see more multiplication problems as well.
Assignments will be posted on Mobymax for additional practice as they are taught.
Please practice 30 minutes each night with math fact fluency.
Their journal will have every standard they need to know with examples please use this as a resource!
