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 be working on measuring the length and plotting the data in line plots. Below is the family letter and on the second page, there is an activity to help students with fractions. 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 5 Week 1 in our Wonders book. Below is an outline of what we will be learning.
