Howdy Folks!
This week for Writer’s Workshop we’ve been focusing on
studying strategies authors use to make their leads better, and we tried out a
few of these strategies for ourselves!
For Reader’s Workshop, we’re focusing on how to thoroughly
share our ideas as we read, and as we notice an important details in the books
that we’re reading!
Math this week had us use our understanding
of place value to help round a six-digit number to
the nearest ten, hundred, thousand, ten thousand, and hundred thousand by using
a number line as a tool to help!
We also built a picture of one million
using real-world situations and classroom resources, with an emphasis on
place value, specifically describing the relationship between different place
values.
This week we also generated multiples of numbers and found patterns
that can be used to determine if a number is a multiple of another number. We
explored the relationship between multiples and factors and find pairs of
numbers that have a multiple-factor relationship. Moreover,
we discovered the relationship between the dimensions of rectangular arrays and
factors. We used tiles and grid paper to find the dimensions of arrays that can
be made with a specified number of squares!
And that's a wrap folks! Cheers, and have a good one!
