Good afternoon! We are finishing our quick review of area and perimeter on Monday and will review and practice all day Tuesday. We will have a test on Wednesday and then we'll be all set to start the next unit when they come back on Monday.

Good evening, we just finished Unit 8 on Geometry and will have our final quiz on Monday. The next three units are all really short and are review from concepts covered in 3B. On Tuesday we'll begin Unit 9 - Area and Perimeter. This unit will wrap up before Thanksgiving. Have a super week!

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.

Can you believe we only have two more weeks?! I hope you and your families are planning something nice for the break. These kids work so hard at Archway. This week in math we will be doing word problems involving multiplication of decimals. After that we'll be ready for dividing with decimals. We should have no problem finishing up this unit before the break. I will be giving the students a study guide on Monday which will be due the following Monday. Enjoy the weekend!
