Week of April 1, 2019




Upcoming events:
4/3 - ELA FSA Assessment
4/4 - ELA FSA Assessment

Resources this week:
4/1 - P.E.
4/4 - Media

Math:
This week in math the students will compare and classify polygons, quadrilaterals, and draw polygons with specified attributes to solve problems.  They will decompose quadrilaterals to understand perimeter as the boundary of a shape.  The students will explore perimeter as an attribute of plane figures and solve problems.  They will measure side lengths in whole number units to determine the perimeter of polygons. The students will determine the perimeter of regular polygons and rectangles when whole number measurements are missing.       
                                   

Example problem for missing measurement in perimeter problem:

                                                                                   
Things to practice and review at home:
Practice identifying number patterns using multiplication, addition or subtraction strategies.
Continue to review  multiplication and division facts 2 to 10  
Use a vertical number line to round numbers to nearest 10's and 100's.
Practice solving two step word problems involving all four operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication and division).
Practice identifying equivalent fractions using number lines and/or fraction strip models.
