MATH:
Our Learning Target for the day was 3.OA.3: I can identify the unknown whole number in order to solve a multiplication or division equation. This is more on the lines of algebraic thinking and students were given a multiplication product with a missing factor and they had to identify that unknown number. This is a higher order thinking skill and is virtually impossible without background knowledge of basic multiplication facts. With that said, I cannot stress enough how very, very important it is to be continuously practicing at home. I certainly will not be naming names, but I CAN TELL who is and who is not practicing at home. It REEEAAALLY shows here. On the same tune, some students are really doing quite well with their facts and I am very pleased! Thank you to all who turned in their flashcard projects that were due today (7s, 8s, 9s)! I put the sticker of completion on the bag and then sent them back home with your student so he/ she can practice, practice, practice away! The reason for this project is for the students' benefit and I'd like to see them utilizing these fun and friendly flashcards!
