6th grade:
Last week students review how to play Hidden Treasure. This was a game they learned last year when they learned about coordinate grids. However, this year they played it with four quadrants which made it more challenging!
On Monday we will review for their unit 1 assessment. Which means, Tuesday they will have their unit 1 assessment.
Wednesday we will start unit 2. Unit 2 is all about Fraction Operations and Ratios.
5th Grade:
This past week students learned how to multiply using the U.S. Traditional Method. I know many parents will be happy to know that their student is learning to multiply the way they learned to multiply!
This method can be challenging for many students. If your student is coming home and struggling with their homework, please just write a little note telling me they tried it. I would rather know that students are struggling so I know to review the homework in class.
We will continue to practice using this method for the next couple of days before we dive into division concepts and strategies.
Here is an example for how to discuss the U.S. Traditional Method with your student
As always... if you have any concerns, questions, or just want to chat about your student, contact me and we can set up a time to talk! Positive comments welcome too :)

5th Grade students playing Multiplication Top it! I have the directions for this game if you want to practice multiplying using the U.S. Traditional method at home. All you need is a deck of cards!
Have a wonderful week!
