Tuesday January 14th

MATH

Barber- Reviewed last night’s homework and answered questions.  Began 4.2: Modeling division using manipulatives (known as flats, skinnies and bits).  

Brazier- We shared more strategies for solving 2X2 multiplication problems without the aid of paper. Ask your child: What is 39 * 11?  We applied our understanding of the order of operations rule (PEMDAS) with a fun and challenging game entitled “24:” Ask about it! Finally, we prepared for tomorrow’s CFP.
