This week has been focused on reviewing some very important concepts from 4th and 5th grade. Math is sequential and requires mastery at each level. I have discovered this week that many of our students have not mastered their multiplication facts. There are countless phone apps and online games/resources available to help students with their multiplication facts. Please encourage your child to review multiplication facts this week and next, even if they get them correct, they need to PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE. Fluency is key :)
Both classes have homework tonight reviewing the Order of Operations. Students must know they can't always solve math expressions from left to right. Ask them about PEMDAS, they should be able to tell you what operations need to be done first. Below is tonight's homework assignment. Show all work ( re-write problem after each step). Should be completed WITHOUT the use of calculator. 3rd period: Complete all of pg 18 from the red workbook 4th period: Complete pages 18 & 19 from the red workbook. I have included an instructional game below to help students practice following PEMDAS. It includes all operations and some basic exponents. campus.mangahigh.com/en-us/px/6/0/0
