Research papers due Friday
Math:
Fifth graders learned how to create a stem and leaf plot after measuring all their heights in centimeters. They found mean, median, mode, and range, as well, then worked in partners to create data sets based on word problems. Their homework is downloadable on yesterday's blog.
Fourth grade math
Purple group: Students are making a push for the rest of the year to finish memorizing their multiplication facts up to 12s. After a break of some weeks, we did another multiplication fact warm up that was generally quite successful, especially compared to the beginning of the year. We also shared strategies for breaking up double-digit multiplication problems into parts, and making sense of all the parts of the answer using story situations and pictures.
Fourth grade math homework, due tomorrow
Purple group:
Please finish Unit 8, pages 7, 8, 9, 10
4th Grade Blue Group: Today we examined our estimation method to determine how close the estimates were to the actual solution to multiplication problems. We discovered that rounding numbers is a great way to make mental estimations, but to be aware of certain problems that arise. We determined that if both numbers in a problem are "rounded up" the estimation will be greater than the actual answer, and the reverse being true as well.
