Week at a Glance 9/16

Math- We are finishing our unit on multiplication and division this week.  Students will apply what they have learned from our unit to solve multi-step problems, involving all operations-addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division.  In the past years, this has proven to be very tricky.  I encourage students to use the CUBES method below as a step by step guide to solving the problems.  If the students see more than two numbers in a story problem.  They need to ask themselves are all these numbers important to solving and then they have to visualize how to use all the numbers to arrive at a solution.

Science- We are still doing introductory lessons in science focused on the processes scientists use, how they communicate their findings, and the tools they use to perform experiments.
