Math:
This week in math we will be learning the properties of multiplication and solving problems with 2-5 and 10.  The students will be building on second grade knowledge of addition to learn multiplication strategies using arrays (objects organized in equal groups in rows and columns).  The students will write addition and multiplication equations  to represent the arrays created. 
Example of creating an array:


This array represents 2 rows of 6 or 2 x 6.


Things to Practice at Home:
Practice creating arrays using different sets of objects.  Write the addition and multiplication equations for each array.
Practice multiplication facts to help with fluency.


Science:
This week in science we will continue our discussion on the Scientific Method.  Steps scientists follow in investigating the world around them.
