This week in math we will spend time reviewing multiplication and division strategies in preparation of our test Friday.  Monday and Tuesday of next week will be used for remediation and to pretest our upcoming unit on fractions.  Our multiplication strategies are area model, partial products, distributive property, and the standard algorithm for 2 digit by 2 digit and 4 digit by 1 digit multiplication.  The strategies we are using for division are multiplying up, array models, area models, and partial quotients for up to a 1 digit divisor and 4 digit dividend.

In science we will begin chapter 5 lesson 2 on sound energy.  Students will participate in a virtual lab activity as well as a tuning fork lab activity.

In social studies we will test out of our election unit and begin a new unit after Thanksgiving.

Please contact me with any questions or concerns.

Thank you,
