This Friday we will have our Unit 6 Math Assessment which focuses on the multiplication and division tables and how we can "break apart" larger factors into smaller pieces to calculate.
For example: If 8x7 is too difficult to multiply at once you can:
Doubles: 4x7= 28 PLUS 4x7=28. Total= 28+28=56
Breaking Apart= 3x7= 24 PLUS 5x8=35 21+35=56
It will also have multi-step number model stories (5x3) +5= ? with missing amounts.
Order of Operations- Parentheses, Multiply or Divide, Add or Subtract
And review of multi-digit addition and subtraction.
They've had plenty practice and modeling activities in class so in addition to what you practice at home, your child is prepared to show proficiency ;o)
