Hi everyone!
It was great to see the percentages during the election results! We talked about them in math since they were a part of our ratio unit! We have started Module 2 which is on dividing fractions and decimal operations. Currently we are dividing fractions and will be writing real life situations to fraction division problems. This week we will be learning lessons 2.3, 2.4, and 2.5. Math stations are a part of every lesson. They involve small groups, technology and basic skills. We also started using Plickers as a wrap up to what we are learning. Questions you can ask your child are: What are Plickers? and Dividing fractions can be written as ____________ sentences. I have added Essential Questions as part of our I Can Statements for each lesson. Essential questions take what we are learning and apply the math we use beyond the classroom. They give a sense of purpose as to why we are learning the math concepts. Examples: When and why do we estimate?, Is there a pattern?. For our fraction unit the Essential Question is: Where do real life situations involve fractions?
