MATH – MULTIPLICATION! MULTIPLICATION! MULTIPLICATION!! – I hope that got your attention. Your child cannot learn multiplication facts without help from home. Please make sure that you are quizzing your child on these facts. You can buy cheap multiplication flashcards at many different stores, or you can create your own using index cards. Students in 3rd grade are required to have their 0-10 multiplication facts memorized before entering 4th grade. I have been quizzing students on their facts and they need to pass off 10 facts in a minute. Please take time every night to practice multiplication facts with your child.
This week we will start lesson 17 in math which is one-step word problems. Below is the family letter from our math workbook. On the second page of the letter, there is an activity to help students understand the area. You are not required to do the activity, it’s just a suggestion if you’d like your child to practice at home.
ELA: This week we’re working on Unit 3 Week 2 in our Wonders book. Below is an outline of what we will be learning.
