The students will continue to work on multiplication and division fluency activities. Science: We will be concluding our unit on how animals and plants adapt to their environment by discussing how the seasonal changes of Florida animals compare to those of other regions of the country.
Students worked very hard on the FSA Math assessment last week. I am so very proud of their hard work and determination. Thank you parents for all your support!

They will determine which operation (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division) is needed to solve the word problems.
Example problem of solving for area and perimeter:
Things to practice at home: Practice solving multiplication and division problems. Solve 2 and 3 step word problems involving all four operations. Round numbers to nearest 10's and 100's using vertical number lines. Practice partitioning objects and identifying equivalent fractions. Solve problems involving area and perimeter.

They will construct rectangles using a specified number of unit squares and determine perimeter of rectangles. The students will solve a variety of word problems related to perimeter. Example of word problem constructing rectangles using perimeter.
Things to practice at home: Practice multiplication and division facts. Use vertical number lines to round numbers to nearest 10's and 100's. Solve word problems involving all four operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division). Add and subtract numbers with and without regrouping. Practice partitioning objects into fractional parts. Compare fractions to determine fractions that are greater than, less than, and/or equal to each other. Practice identifying mathematical patterns.

Science: This week in science the students will continue to explain the process of photosynthesis and learn why it is an important process for all living things.
This week in
math, the students will connect area and perimeter by constructing rectangles
from a given number of unit squares and determining the perimeter of the
rectangles.They will also construct
rectangles with given perimeter using unit squares and determine the area of
the rectangles.The students will
measure the perimeter of circles to the nearest quarter inch. They will use a
line plot to record the given number of rectangles constructed from a given
number of square units.
Example of word problem connecting area and perimeter.
Marci says, "If a rectangle has a bigger area than another rectangle, it must have a larger perimeter." Do you agree or disagree? Show an example to prove your thinking.
Things to practice at home:
Continue practicing multiplication facts 2-10.
Partition objects at home and compare fractions determining equivalency.
Add and subtract 2 and 3 digit numbers with and without regrouping.
Use vertical number lines to round numbers to nearest 10's and 100's.
Solve word problems involving the four operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division).

Science:
This week in
science, the students will explore how plants respond to stimuli such as heat,
light, and gravity.They will explore
how the amount of light affect the way plants grow.
This week in
math, the students will continue learning about polygons, quadrilaterals and
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. They will use all four operations to solve problems
involving perimeter and missing measurements. Example of solving perimeter problems with known measurements:
Example of solving problems with perimeter with missing measurements:
Things to practice at home:
Continue
practicing multiplication facts 2-10.
Use vertical
number line to round numbers to nearest 10’s and 100’s.
Practice
partitioning objects at home and finding equivalent (equal) fractions.
Solve word
problems using the four operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication,
division).
Add and
subtract 3 and 4 digit numbers.

This week in
science, the students will compare and contrast plant structures and their
roles in food production, support, water, and nutrient transport, and
reproduction.
