MATH
This week, we will be reviewing concepts that we have been working on all year to prepare for our math interim assessment next week.
This week students will be working in small groups to put numbers in order and tell time.
Math Journals - (Tuesdays and Thursdays) Our Math Journal work begins with an open ended question that provides an opportunity for students to use multiple strategies for problem solving. Students are then asked to record their work and discuss how they solved the problem. Finally, a few students each week share their problem solving strategies with the class.
