MATH
Fourth Grade
4th graders will continue with Chapter 3, Multiplying by 2-digit numbers this week. We will cover Lessons 5, then 3,4, and 6. Lesson 5 covering the multiplying 2-digit numbers using the Regrouping method (the standard method most people use). Lessons 3 & 4 explain the area model and partial product methods. Students should try these methods, however, they should master the regrouping method. There will be a quiz on Friday covering Estimating Products and Multiplying 2-digit numbers.
Use Carmen San Diego Math Models, Skills 11-12, to practice skills in Chapter 3. Remember we need to share logins 1-4 at this time.

You can print your own worksheets from Math-drills.com, play online games (see Math Websites Tab above), or borrow some "Holey Cards" from Mrs. Hall.
