Mrs. Donnelly
We will be wrapping up our unit on Geometry. The students will be continuing to work on their basic facts for (+, -, and x) as well as applying their skills to word problems.

Mr. Sum
This month we will be focussing our efforts on Division strategies then moving on to Fractions. We will also be practicing basic facts with daily timed drills. Drills are marked, recorded, and given back to the student to take home.
I am very excited to introduce the math website, Xtra Math. This website helps students with basic math facts on a daily basis. Click on the link below to access the site. When students use the site I will be given a report on how well they are doing. I will also be given a report on whether or not they are doing their homework. Please use the website daily as an added routine. The students have been given a PIN. If they have lost the PIN please email me and I will provide you the parent flyer for you to use XtraMath from home.
Here is a video showing the relationship between multiplication and division using arrays.
