HI everyone! Thank you for checking in here for your homework. Your lesson this afternoon is how to make sense of the remainder in a division problem. Please click on the link below and read the page of the lesson, then click at the bottom for more review and practice with this idea. Our early class work will include three of the problems on that review. Be able to tell the three ways we can use a remainder. Bringing in notes of your understanding is acceptable. I can't wait to see you tomorrow. I've missed you!

Math Fact practice
Hi everyone,
Fact automaticity (knowing your products IMMEDIATELY upon seeing two factors) is so valuable! It will help you with every unit in our future! You will be so glad you spent time practicing this for YEARS TO COME! This flash card site (Quizlet) is a fun way to practice. Remember that multiplication is just repeating an addition problem. IF you know one fact, you can figure out the one above it or below it. You can use this site for a mix of facts, but if you want to study one "table" (one number and all its facts), just google "quizlet multiplication fact cards" and you can choose single tables to study.
Try playing the "Scatter" or the "Race" game and try to beat your time every time you play. Keep track of your time on a piece of paper. Play with a parent or sibling. To make it challenging for them, tell them they have to play with their non-dominant hand. You'll get lots of laughs!!
Have FUN with math!!! Below is the site with the mixed set:

Divisibility Rules
You should have your notebook at home to complete the copying of this chart into your notebook neatly. If you forgot your notebook, find any piece of paper and copy the rules chart down IN YOUR OWN HANDWRITING. Tomorrow at school you can paste it neatly into your notebook.
When you are done, study the rules. Figure out which numbers each of the following are divisible by:
75
7,960
384
3,725
90
36,297
Here is where you can find the powerpoint from our lesson today. You should not try to connect to the links at the end of the ppt. If you cannot open it, you should get here right at 9:00 tomorrow so you can go through it on a laptop before the bell.

Multiplication Mania
This week is all about MULTIPLICATION!! Today we worked on the standard algorithm in multiplication. An algorithm is a method for solving a problem in math. This is the traditional way your parents likely learned how to do multiplication. Let's look at the following problem:
53 x 4
When we compute this problem, we are actually adding the number 53, 4 times. We work on the multiplication by multiplying the ones digit first by the two, carrying over to the next place value what we need to and then multiplying the 4 by the 5 in the tens place and adding the carry over so that we get a product of 212.
You will achieve the same solution by multiplying 50 x 4 and 3 x 4 and adding those products together. This is known as the partial products algorithm.
For a video lesson on how to multiply by one digit or more than one digit, watch THIS.
If you want another lesson on the basic use of multiplication, watch THIS as well.
If you have no trouble at all doing single or double digit multiplication, please watch this video to prepare for our lesson tomorrow on multiplying using decimals. Be sure to do a few problems using the "Test yourself" prompt.
See you tomorrow.

And it begins....
The day ended with a few little moans and shocked faces as assignment books came out and homework was (should have been) recorded in the proper place. Below is a description on what the students should have done tomorrow. All had time to begin in class except for the map.
1. We started our first word study list (this is our spelling grade). Notebooks should have come home if the kids didn't finish copying the words twice in the notebooks. The list should also be cut out and put in the baggy that was given today (that is kept in the word study section in the pendafile). Study that list and more work will be done throughout the week. Test will be next week. We rarely test on Fridays.
2. Both classes had math sheets that were started in class. My math class had to do 1-5 on each side and Mrs. Dodd's class needed to do both sides (many finished in class).
3. Our study of the United States has begun! We read today about the different landforms and boundaries in the 5 separate regions. Students need to color the regions on the map they were given using the colors from the book (page 4 or R12-13). Tomorrow we will discuss the difference between climate and weather. What do you already know about those words?
4. Read for 20 minutes. Be sure to jot down the title of your current reading choice on the reading line in your assignment book.
