Math:
This week in math the students will continue learning about the commutative property to solve word problems using arrays. They will use the distributive property as a strategy to find related multiplication facts. The students will apply the distributive property to decompose units and will begin solving two-step word problems involving multiplication and division and assess the reasonableness of answers.
Example of solving
word problem using arrays and commutative property:
Ms.
Williams draws the array below to show the class seating chart. She sees the students in 4 rows of 7 when she
teaches at the front board. Use the
commutative property to show how Ms. Williams sees the class when she teaches
at the side board.
This array shows 4
rows of 7
This
array shows 7 rows of 4
Example of number bond to decompose units:
Practice multiplication facts 2-10
Use arrays to model multiplication (2 x 5 or 2 rows 5, 4 x 4 or 4 rows of 4)
Continue practicing math facts using distributive property to break apart large multiplication facts.
Write word problems and solve using tape diagrams or number bonds.

Science:
This week in Science, we will discuss ways to collect and record data during investigations. We will continue our discussion on how scientists use their observations to infer and make explanations during their explorations.
