Week of September 13- Assignments

OPEN HOUSE IS TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 14- We would LOVE to see you there!

This week, we will begin our unit on decimals. Students will explore reading, writing, comparing, ordering, adding, subtracting, and create pictorial models from tenths to thousandths. Below are a few games that involve previously learned and new concepts. Also, I have added a gadget for some fun.

Monday- Problem Solving Board and Word Chart-decimals
Tuesday- Problem Solving Board and Picture to Numbers (assigning standard form values to pictorial decimal models.)
Wednesday- Problem Solving Board and Decimal Place Value Forms
Thursday- No homework due to Fall Holiday-

But, if you are able, I am encouraging my students to find the exact distance between their home and Briargrove on Google or Yahoo maps. Since we are working with decimal place value to the thousandths, the more accurate the better. Next week, we will be comparing and ordering these distances on a number line, as well as representing the number in a variety of ways.
