Third Grade: The third grade has been working on multiplying by 9 and 4. They have been using their rules to multiply fluently. It has been great to see their progress through their multiplication facts and connecting them to division. They have also been working a lot with fractions, placing them on number lines, and comparing them. Fourth Grade: The fourth grade is working on dividing 3 digit numbers by 1 digit. They are working hard to use their understanding of making equal groups. It is forcing them to use their multiplication facts to work backwards through the problem. Ask them how to solve a problem like this! Fifth Grade: The fifth grade has been doing really well with adding fractions with different denominators! They have found "tricks" to help them, which really means they are finding more efficient ways to figure out the answer. They also started adding and subtracting mixed numbers. They have grown in their math thinking so much!!
