ELA: You will find reading activities and information on Mrs. Townsend's dojo site. Mrs. Rodgers has updated spelling words and reading information.
Math:
We will be rounding two-and three digit numbers to the
nearest tens on the vertical number line.
The students will apply rounding strategies to round to the nearest
hundred on the vertical number line. We will use the standard algorithm to
compose larger units once and twice. The
students will decompose once to subtract measurements including three-digit
minuends with zeros in the tens or ones place.
Examples
of rounding three-digit measurements:
Rounding
387 milliliters to the nearest hundred:
Rounding 117 milliliters to nearest ten:
Rounding
1,387 milliliters to the nearest hundred:
Example
problem subtracting using a tape diagram and standard algorithm:
Nooran buys 507 grams of grapes at the market Tuesday. On Thursday, he buys 345 grams of grapes. How many more grams of grapes did Nooran buy on Tuesday than on Thursday?

Things
to practice at home:
Practice using analog clocks to determine elapsed time of
various activities and to practice telling time.
Continue practicing multiplication facts 2 to 10
Discuss the liquid volume of milk, juice, and water
containers found at home.
Talk about how much certain objects weigh and differences
in total weight of specific things at home.
Practice using rounding strategies to round numbers at
home on a vertical number line. For
example the number 57 is between 5 tens (50) and 6 tens (60). The number 57 is rounded to 60. Use the rounded number to estimate the
weight. The number 157 is between 100
and 200 and would round to 200 when rounded to nearest hundred.
Science:
This week in Science we will continue learning about the physical properties of matter, how we measure matter, and the different states of matter.
