Math:
This week in math, the students will continue decomposing to subtract three-digit measurements with a zero in the tens or ones place. They will solve measurement word problems drawing tape diagrams. The students will continue rounding to estimate the sums and differences of measurements and then solve problems determining the reasonableness of their solutions. The students will use the standard algorithm for subtraction to solve two and three digit metric measurements and intervals of minutes within 1-hour problems.
