I continue to be excited by the mathematical connections I see students making every day! We have completed our first module study of place value and decimal fractions and students have completed their first round of formal assessments and “fix ups” (revisions). We are now moving into module 5.2, which focuses on multi-digit whole number and decimal fraction operations. We will be using the standard multiplication algorithm (the method that many of us were taught when we were younger people) to multiply decimal numbers by multi-digit whole numbers. Students will also apply their understanding of place value, which was covered in previous lessons, to help estimate and reason about the placement of the decimal in their result (product). We love word problems because it helps us apply what we’re learning to “real world” situations. Have your student show you how we use Google Classroom and Infinite Campus (IC) - two online tools to help them stay on top of their work.
