Week 14 Announcements

This week students will solve one-step multiplication and division problems using strategies based on objects, pictorial models, arrays, area models, equal groups, properties of operations, and recall of facts. Students will also represent and solve one-step multiplication and division problems using arrays, strip diagrams, and equations. Students will also learn to describe a multiplication expression as a comparison.  Students will determine the unknown number in a multiplication or division equation relating three whole numbers when the unknown is either a missing factor or product.

We will also continue working on the Superstar Showcase Project(s). I will provide the feedback on your finished portion of your projects.  Please have them ready by this Thursday. If you wish to combine two projects into one and need some support, be sure to share your ideas with me in class. 

I sent a note on LivingTree on the Friday Nov.19th.  Below is an image of the post just in case you guys haven't seen it.

I've also attached some images of sample problem solving strategies here for your reference.

3. Distributive property of multiplication
4. Multiply a two digit by a one digit number by using standard algorithm and other strategies
5. Describe a multiplication expression as a comparison for example 3x24 represents 3 times as much as 24
6. Observe, measure, record and compare day to day weather changes in different locations
7. Spiral Up unit 5 multistep addition and subtraction word problem solving

We will also have lunch in classroom on Friday between 11:40 - 1:00pm.
