Good morning math families. We only have one more week of math this semester. We will have our unit test tomorrow on data analysis. The students have learned how to find the mode, median, range, and mean of a set of data. They have also learned how to read various graphs. The rest of the week we will work on the final unit of the book, volume. There will not be a test at the end of this unit. We will be ready to begin the 5A book in quarter three.

Good morning, I wanted to thank you for sending in some treats for our little impromptu math party on Friday. I decided to have fun with them since we finished up that section of our geometry unit. We're still going to be working on geometry for the remainder of the quarter. This week we begin with quadrilaterals and review area and perimeter. I remember last year it was rough because the kids had forgotten how to multiply double digit numbers. So I anticipate a bit of review in that area before we tackle area with double digit figures. We had excellent results on the test on Thursday, averaging 88%! This is a great group of kids and I am really enjoying them. : )

Good afternoon math families! We began our first geometry unit and the kids are enjoying it. We will spend this week working with protractors learning how to measure angles. Students are welcome to bring in their own protractors if they have them, but it's not necessary because I have plenty to share. On Friday there will be a short quiz on angles and the terms we learned last week.

Welcome back math families! We are all finished with decimals (although in math you're never really finished with anything) and we're moving into our geometry unit. We'll begin with points, lines, rays and angles. I love the geometry because it's a nice change after the first quarter. I am going to be assigning seats this quarter to see if we can't get better participation from everyone. Really the class is doing so well, but I want to see if it helps those who were in the back to be a little closer. Anyway, looking forward to seeing everyone again!

Last week of the quarter! We had the day off of course today because of our field trip. Tomorrow we're back at dividing with decimals. We'll be moving onto word problems that involve division and then we'll review some, too. We'll probably play a couple of games to make it fun. It's been a nice quarter with these kiddos. Hope they are enjoying it as well.
