Math:
This week in
math, the students will continue learning the conventional order for performing
operations when parentheses are and are not present in an equation. They will use the associative property as a
strategy to multiply using units up to 8.
The students will relate division-using units up to 8 with
multiplication. They will understand
division as both a quantity divided into equal groups and an unknown factor
problem for which, given the large size of units, skip-counting to solve can be
more efficient than dividing. The
students will continue using the distributive property and the fact 9=10-1 as a
strategy to multiply and will identify and use math patterns to multiply.
Example of using the associative property to multiply using units of 8:
8 × 5 = (4 × 2) × 5
= 4 ×
(2 × 5)
= 4 ×
10
Example of
9=10-1 strategy to solve a multiplication problem:

Science:
This week in science the students will identify that light
can come from different sources, such as the sun or an electric lamp. They will recognize that light travels in a
straight line until it strikes an object or travels from one medium to another.
