Some housekeeping: Remember NO SCHOOL tomorrow for student led conferences! They cannot wait to share all of their hard work.
Friday (5/20) I will be out and Mrs. Macmillan will be their guest teacher! I am going to watch my brother graduate college in Connecticut!
The current unit in math has been focusing on using arrays as a model to solve multiplication problems. The first step is to build a "skeleton" using the linear units (little blue pieces) to layout the dimensions of the problem you are trying to solve. Once you have done that you can fill in with the base ten pieces to come up with a product.
We have had a lot of practice building the dimensions, then filling in with the base ten pieces. The last two days partners were assigned a specific multiplication problem and they had to make a poster showing the matching array and the different equations that helped them come up with a product!
On Monday, our penpals from Hiawatha came over to play!
