Math:
This week in
math we will estimate and measure liquid volume in liters and milliliters using
the vertical number line. The students
will solve mixed word problems involving all four operations with grams,
kilograms, liters, and milliliters given in the same units. We will be
reviewing rounding strategies and applying these strategies to our
lessons. The students will be rounding
two- and three-digit measurements to the nearest ten on the vertical number
line. We will continue applying our
rounding strategies to round to the nearest hundred on the vertical number
line.
Examples of using vertical number line to round numbers.
Which number is halfway between 7 tens and 8 tens?
Things
to practice at home:
Practice using
a vertical number line to round numbers.
Continue practicing
using a number line and analog clocks to solve elapsed time word problems.
Continue
comparing the capacities of different shape objects using metric units of
measurement.
Compare and
contrast the weight of different objects at home using kilograms and grams.

Science:
This week in
science, the students will begin to sort objects according to their
properties. They will identify
properties they use to describe objects and describe the similarities of two or
more properties.
