Math
Bridges Unit 4: Fractions
Review of Measurement: Telling Time, linear distances and weight.
Reminder: Correct formation of numbers is vital. If a teacher (or the bank!) cannot read the number that you wrote, the results are not good!
Quizzes every Friday - 20 answers should be solved in one minute.
Although I highly encourage students to memorize facts, facts can be mastered either by memorization or strategies to find out answer. Your child is expected to be working at home to master these basic facts. A graph will be sent home the following week to show how your student improved from the beginning of the week to the end of the week.
