This week in
math the students will continue counting by sixes and sevens, composing up to
and then over the next ten. For example,
students might count 6, 12, 18, and then mentally add 18 + 2 + 4 to make
24. This skip-counting method utilizes
make ten strategies. Students will begin to understand that multiples of 6 can
be thought of as (5 + 1) x n to make 5 and 1 more groups, or 6 groups of
n. Multiples of 7 can be thought of as (5 + 2) x
n to make 5 and 2 more groups, or 7 groups of n. The students will continue using the
distributive property as a strategy to multiply and divide and interpret the
unknown in multiplication and division to model and solve problems using units
of 6 and 7. The students will begin to
understand the function of parentheses and apply to solving mathematical
problems.
