Math Update
Third Grade
Third grade students worked on lattice and partial product algorithms to learn tools to multiply. They hav a sheet with some problems that they are to finish. In addition, they are to make a 1x2, 1x3, 1x4, 1x5, 2x3,2x4,2x5, and 3x3 examples of lattice if they did not finish in class. Their thinking problem for today was to find at least one way to use the following 5 numbers: 4, 6, 7, 11, 5 to make 5.
Fourth Grade
Fourth graders finished lesson 2 of Bits and Pieces II. They have 2.2, 2.3 (b & d), 2.4 and ACE problems 14 - 17 and 20 - 25 for Tuesday. If they did not finish this in class they need to finish that as homework. They will have find at least one way to use the following 5 numbers: 5, 11, 3, 6, 9 with any mathematical function to reach 1. They more ways they can find to solve this problem, the more their thinking will be challenged.
Fifth Grade
Fifth graders have finished lesson 3 of Variables and Patterns. Students are working on a brochure with other students to plan their bicycle tour. They also have find at least one way to use the following 5 numbers: 4, 7, 11, 6, 5 with any mathematical function to reach 5. They more ways they can find to solve this problem, the more their thinking will be challenged.
