Math:
This week in math the students will begin to place unit fractions on a number line with endpoints of 0 and 1.  They will place whole number fractions and unit fractions between whole numbers on the number line.  The students will compare fractions and whole numbers on the number line by reasoning about their distance from 0.





Example problem of putting fractions on a number line:
Hannah bought 1 yard of ribbon to wrap 4 small presents. She wants to cut the ribbon into equal parts. Draw and label a number line from 0 yards to 1 yard to show where Hannah will cut the ribbon. Label all the fractions, including 0 fourths and 4 fourths. Also, label 0 yards and 1 yard.

Continue practicing multiplication and division facts 2-10
Add and subtract 2 and 3 digit numbers.
Practice partition things at home (food, cakes, cookies,  pack of eggs, pack of crayons, pack of pencils).
Work on solving 2 step word problems involving all four operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division).
Practice rounding numbers to the nearest 10's and 100's using place value strategies.
