Week of October 1, 2018


Resources this week:
Cox:
Monday - Music
Wednesday - P.E./Art


Math:
This week in math, we will solve word problems involving time intervals within 1 hour by counting backwards and forwards using a number line and clock, and adding and subtracting on the number line.  The students will also solve problems involving elapsed time beyond 1 hour.  They will measure weight and liquid volume in metric units.  We will compose and decompose a kilogram with hands-on exercises to reason about the size and weight of 1 kilogram, 100 grams, 10 grams, and 1 gram.  We will work on developing estimation strategies by reasoning about the weight in kilograms of a series of familiar objects to establish mental benchmark measures. We will be solving one-step word problems involving metric weights within 100, estimate to reason about solutions, and decompose a liter to reason about the size of 1 liter, 100 milliliters, 10 milliliters, and 1 milliliter.


                              
Things to do at home:
Use a clock to practice determining elapsed time.
Continue practicing multiplication facts 2-10.
Practice solving word problems using different units of measure.
