Place Value and Rounding

We have begun a new school year. Hope that you have enjoyed your summer and are ready to get back into the groove of school!

We are starting off our Math Lessons with some place value review and rounding. This week we were rounding to the nearest 10...next week we will tackle to the nearest 100. This can be tricky...but eventually they all catch on. You will see this skill for quite some time on homework to insure extra practice and keeping the skill fresh.

We watched a video this week on Khan Academy about rounding to the nearest 10. I have added it below to help you understand how we went about figuring out how to round the numbers. I know it can be tough, as the parent, to help your child at home. There are also some links on my school website to other websites that can be helpful for practice. I hope this helps you in being able to help your student. Let me know if you need more.

I am hoping for a successful and productive year!

Fractions on a Number line

Good Evening! I have a video from today for you! We are currently working on those ever-hated FRACTIONS! I know, RUN! HIDE!...AAAGGGHHHH!!!! I hated them too, as a child, and never could quite "get them". Luckily, what we are doing is pretty easy to follow. I hope that you find this helpful! Please email me any questions that you may have or any insights to what you see your student struggling with in fractions.

Enjoy!

Enjoy your evening!

...and we are back

It has been awhile...but there are new concepts to cover. We have started working on time and elapsed time. This is a HARD concept for the students. We are going to try and take it easy and get it just right for them. Something I need for you to work on at home is having them use an analog clock to tell time. Most of them struggle with figuring the time out to begin with...so don't allow them to rely on the good ole, easy digital clock. They MUST master telling time on an analog clock.

Here are our Math Notebook notes on Time and Elapsed Time!

Here is the video explaining how to complete number 1 and 2 on homework. I explained finding elapsed time on a number line and finding elapsed time using an analog clock. If you have any questions, please send me an email. Thanks for all you do!

Have a great evening!
