Wild about Math

We are having a great time in math! I hope the kids are having as much fun as I am. Just a reminder that Tuesday students will have math homework. Also Thursday will our our weekly vocabulary test and Friday students are working on increase their personal time on multiplication facts. So it will be another busy week.

We are learning about addition and subtraction of decimals. Don't forget that math is all around us. It is a great idea to have students look at math with you. How can you do this?
Have students look at the weekly ads and make a list of items, add them together and subtract from a budgeted amount. When you go out to eat, have them estimate the cost, or as you are picking up a few groceries, have them estimate the amount and see how close they are when you check out.
