It seems like the whole month of November has been all about multiplication!
Students are making good work of the different steps involved with multiplying 2 and 3 digit numbers by 2 digit numbers.
The month of December will be all about division. Students will first learn to estimate answers, how to look for a close answer and then all the steps in the algorithm of long division. I'll teach the mnemonic of Does Mcdonnalds Serve Cheese Burgers Regularly to remind them to:
Divide
Multiply
Subtract
Compare
Bring down
Remainder.
We will continue problem solving with charts, pictographs, bar graphs. We will learn to find the mean, mode, and range of a set of data. We will comparasion shop and find unit prices. To help with this we could really use some cans and jars (spreads, jelly, beans, etc) that still have a label with the number of ounces on them. If you remember the price, you can write that in sharpie or I'll make it up! These will be used December 16-18.
