And the countdown begins...12/8/14

Wow! We are in the last two weeks of school before Winter Break.  We were definitely reminded today of how cold it was.  I have been working really hard to adjust the order of the math class.  There has been a few adjustments that your child is fully aware of.  We have definitely been doing more workshop.  Workshop is where I give students 3-4 work stations to go to in rotation.  Students are broken into groups of less than 6.  They work collaboratively and individually depending on the task.  This gives me an opportunity to directly instruct students in a smaller group setting.  I am so excited and your children seem to love workshop as well.

We have just finished with area and perimeter.  We are beginning multiple digit multiplication.  Please have your child practice those multiplication skills so that they can become more fluent with them.  Here is a website that we use to give practice to students.  Math Magician Site 1 or challenge them with this version of Math Magician 2.

Here is a list of activities you can do with your child to help build math fluency and to connect what we learn in math to real life:

• Make up numbers, roll numbers with dice, or find numbers (on labels) and compare them
• Find numbers and write them in expanded form
• Make numbers and tell which place value (and/or value) each digit represents
• Place large numbers in a number line
• Draw pictures and make models of numbers
• Practice addition and subtraction facts

This is a newsletter that will help show you math concepts that will be taught this module.  Use this as a guide to help you learn the concepts your child is responsible for learning.

Study/ Review multiplication facts

Jacobs Newsletter 11/17

Hello parents and students,

In math, we are wrapping up this very short unit of Metric Unit Conversions.  Students had a quiz on this information today.  Tomorrow (Tuesday, Nov. 18), I will be giving a Benchmark Assessment.  This is not graded.  This serves as a way for me to see if students understood Modules 1-3.    Please review material with your child.  Again, this is not graded.  We will be starting a new unit on Wednesday involving Multiplication.  Please have your child review multiplication facts daily.  The more practice, the better.

Spirit Night is Nov. 25 from 5-9 pm.  Maleah and I will definitely be there.  So be there or be square!
