MATH:
We have began our unit upon multiplication. I am pleased that many of the students already have some background knowledge and are able to apply these skills. We will be working on multiplication for an extended length of time, but it is imperative that these facts are mastered NOW. Students MUST have them down prior to entering 4th grade. Please work on them as much as possible; repetition promotes fluency. Beginning next week, we will be beginning a project where students will be creating flashcards in differing shapes on their facts at home. Be looking for this information on Monday, October 29th in your student's planner. I have encouraged the students to go through sets at home as much as possible and in any free time (2s, 3s, 4s...up to 10s). They may be really shaky and unsure on these facts now, but I assure you, by Christmas, you will see a significance difference if you are practicing daily!
Currently in math, we have learned several different skills for how to multiply such as using arrays, grouping, and repetitive addition.
HOMEWORK: none
