11/10 - Science Chapter 5 Lesson 1 Sheet
11/12 - Math Multiplication using area model, distributive property, and partial products

In math we are beginning to take our knowledge of factors and multiples and relate it to multi-digit multiplication and division.  Our standards enable us to teach students multiple ways to use these operations.  Students are expected to learn how to use various properties to multiply and divide.  The standard algorithm is not a 4th grade standard.  Below are some examples of multiplication strategies we will be covering.  They are shown below in the following order: area model, distributive property, partial products.




In science we are completing the last 2 chapters in our matter unit on 11/6.  We will begin a new unit on forms of energy 11/9.  This unit is in chapter 5 of the science book.

Please contact me with any questions or concerns.

Thanks,
