Math: This week we will do our best to finish up our study of decimals. The Unit Test is tentatively scheduled for next Wednesday, February 4th. As always, see the Home Links at www.everydaymathonline.com for extra practice & review of skills learned in class. Your child’s username and password can be found in his/her planner.
For IXL this week, students are to complete the following third grade skills:
B.8 Convert between standard and expanded form
W.6 Order Decimals
W.7 Add and Subtract Decimals
Math facts testing resumes this week. Below is a copy of the 8 individual multiplication and division goals. Students should be studying their specific goal at home for 10-15 minutes every night. In doing so, remember to reinforce the relationship between multiplication and division. (It’s all skip counting.) Click here for the list of math facts goals for 3rd grade.
