Math News:

Your child will be having homework in Moby Max (for math) this week. They have been working on this in Science, so they should know their username and password. If they have forgotten it, please send me an email and I will let you know what it is. ​

Yellow and Red Groups will be reviewing adding and subtracting decimals Monday and Tuesday. Remind your child to line up the decimals and put a place holder (zero) where there are empty spaces. I am planning on giving them their test Wednesday. Then we will begin multiplying and dividing decimals.

Blue group is working on division of whole numbers. After dividing and finding the answer, we are checking the answer with multiplication. Please have your child demonstrate how to do this at home.
