Math
4th Grade:-The 4th graders are busy working on their multiplication math board game. They will continue to work on it throughout this week and hopefully on Friday we will be playing each of their games in class.
5th grade- The 5th graders will be doing some review of regrouping with subtraction. I have noticed that has been a common mistake while we are working on our decimal unit. You will see a few math problems like this coming home each night. In addition the students will be learning how to balance a checkbook as well as write a check.
6th- The 6th graders are hard at work with their cumulative fraction project. They have been given the task of starting up and running their own bakery.
7th- The 7th graders are working on solving 2 step algebraic equations. Please encourage your child to go over the integer rules that we reviewed last week. This seems to be where the students are struggling most.
8th- The 8th graders are solving 2 step equations and then will be going on to solving multi-step equations.
Please remember all students should be practicing their multiplication facts each night!
