Good morning, I was reminded this week that I hadn't written a math blog this quarter! So sorry. Since Mrs. Scott took over writing the regular 4th grade blog, I'd forgotten that I still needed to update the math blog. So, let me tell you what's going on in our class. We started 5A and are almost through with the first unit. The students have a study guide that is due on Monday. We'll review Monday and Tuesday, on Wednesday they don't have math b/c of Galileo testing, and then the test will be on Thursday. I gave them a cumulative test before we started the new book and discovered that many of the concepts taught from 4B had already been forgotten. So I will now be including some questions on their 5A tests that review older concepts. We don't ever want them forgetting skills in math, because it should always spiral and go deeper as they progress through the books. The next unit is about order of operations, mental math strategies, and word problems. Have a great weekend!
