What big units we have moving forward. In these upcoming units you will find your child heavily practicing multiplication facts, fractions, and decimals. We will be learning different strategies to solve double digit multiplication, such as partisan rectangles, lattice and traditional multiplication. I have included a few videos to help with this process.
We will spend the first 2 months of school reviewing place value, exploring geometry and looking over our multiplication facts. We will also spend time exploring the Everyday Math Website and familiarizing ourselves with the tools there that will help us when we are at home.

We have entered fact practice. Chapter 2 is heavy on multiplication facts. This sets up our entire year. To help ease this transition please practice math facts at home. This can include:
Flash cards
Apps
quizzes
Songs
Games
In the last units of the year we will be learning long division, liquid units of measure, and subtracting mixed fractions. These last units will have a combination of new learning as well as utilizing skills we have been practicing all year. There will be a large focus on multi-step word problems that will include fractions and decimals.
Use the videos to help understand how to find area using multiplication
Factors pairs and multiples tend to be a tougher subject to grasp. Here are two videos to help with homelinks.
Here are a few geometry videos to help navigate home links for chapter 2.
Every Day Math is our math curriculum. We will be doing math every day. There will be a homelink assigned with every math lesson. However some lessons may take more than one day; therefore, there will be some days without a homelink.
To see the day's assignment, play math games, see a tutorial for help or play math games please use the EveryDay Math site linked below. Your child has a username and password taped into their take home binders. https://connected.mcgraw-hill.com/connected/login.do
