Math:
The students
will continue comparing fractions with the same numerator using fraction strips, number
lines, and symbols ( >, <, =).
They will continue developing an understanding that the numerator in a
fraction does not necessarily determine the size of the fraction. The students will explore methods for
partitioning wholes into fractional units using number lines as a measurement
tool.
We will begin
to discuss how data is collected, categorized and analyzed. The students will show data in tape diagrams where units are
equal groups with a value greater than 1.They will explore picture and bar graphs as vertical representations of
tape diagrams and apply skip-counting and multiplication strategies to analyze
data.
Things
to practice and review at home:
Continue to help your
child develop an understanding of fractions as numbers by providing
opportunities to discuss parts of whole at home.
Practice identifying
number patterns
Continue practicing multiplication facts 2 to 10
Practice
solving two step word problems involving all four operations (addition,
subtraction, multiplication and division).
