We have a lot of math to cover in a very short period of time. We've just started the Division Unit and then we have a geometry unit left. We'll go over probability very quickly.
To help us all stay on track, I've created a Division Self Assessment sheet that I will hand out to the kids tomorrow. I will ask them to keep it in their math textbooks and we will review it every class or two to chart our progress through the unit. Click on the title of this blog to see a copy for yourself. All of the outcomes for this unit are listed. Many of them we've already done in the Multiplication unit so this will be a quick review. Tomorrow, we will work through Lesson 1. The emphasis will be on explaining the strategies they use to help figure out the problem. While memorizing multiplication facts is not an outcome (although "determining the answer with confidence" is), it will certainly make division faster and easier if they know them up to 9x9.
As always, be sure to call or email if you have any questions or concerns.
Have a safe and happy long weekend!!
