During this short week,we will continue our unit on Multiplication. We will work problems using the lattice method on Monday. This is another method of performing multiplication that some students are already very familiar. We have spent a lot of time using the traditional algorithm and after students are exposed to the lattice method on [...]

We are now ready for our unit on multiplication. We will begin by reviewing multiplying by 1-digit and 2-digit numbers and progress to multiplying larger numbers. While we will be recognizing many ways in which to multiply ( including the lattice method and partial products) ,we will place a stronger emphasis on the traditional multiplication algorithm. Knowing the basic [...] Can you solve equations like this? 8 + 2x + 3 – x = 2x + 1 or 2(2x + 3) = x + 9 Well,the Red Team can! Students recently completed a test on Hands-On Equations. I am pleased to announce that out of 78 students on [...] This week, we completed our unit of Hands-on Algebra. Students will receive a study guide on Monday. As always,students will receive 2 bonus points for returning the study guide with a parent signature by test day. Upcoming Events October 25 –Red Ribbon Assembly October 25 – Hands-on Algebra TEST October 25 - 27 – Parent / Teacher Conferences (already [...] This week,students were introduced to Hands-on Algebra. This is a concrete,hands-on way to solve complex algebraic equations. Students are usually very successful using this method,and this year’s Red Team is no exception! We will begin next week by continuing our unit of Hands-on Algebra. Students will be introduced to the distributive property and how [...] This week,students worked with rounding whole numbers and decimals to the hundredths place. This would be a good skill to periodically work on with your child. We will begin next week by continuing to review addition and subtraction skills. In particular,we will work with adding and subtracting decimals. While this is very similar to working with [...] We will begin next week with a review of decimals. We have made mathematical models and practiced writing decimals in standard,expanded,and word form,as well as comparing and ordering decimals. Students will help create a study guide on Tuesday. We will review using stations and games the rest of the week with a test [...] We are off to an AWESOME start on the Red Team! Students have eagerly settled in to life at WIS as they have chosen lockers,switched classes,and made new friends. In math,we have begun the year by examining place value of whole numbers. Students have reviewed writing numbers to the thousands period using standard form (using digits),word form,[...] We have been working on many review items over the last week,including work with multiplication and division. Some students have found out the hard way,that although summer is just around the corner,it is still important for them to take their time and do their best work. This week,we will continue [...] First of all,congratulations to all of the students on the Red Team! Everyone worked very hard on the MAP Test this past week. We are all very proud of your efforts! This week in math,we review work with multiplication and division and begin the process of working with larger numbers. During this time,[...] |  | ||||
