This week in math we will continue using our multiplication strategies (area model, distributive property, and partial products) with multi-step word problems. We will be using a "RDW" strategy (read, draw, write). For the "D", a tape diagram is a suggested form of drawing at this grade level. We will also review some area and perimeter problems using multiplicative comparison. For example: John and Sue both have rectangular gardens in their back yards. Johns garden has a perimeter of 16 ft and its width is 4 times larger than its length. Sues garden is 12 times larger than Johns. What is the area of Johns garden? What is the area and perimeter of Sues garden?
In science this week we will begin learning about sound. Students will participate in a tuning fork lab activity, watch a study jams and brain pop about sound, participate in an online activity "Dangerous Decibels", read and answer questions from chapter 5 lesson 2, and have an open book quiz over lesson 2 on Friday.
If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me at any time.
Sincerely,
Brandy Davis
