Hello Parents,

As the school year continues we are stressing that every student purchase a locker. Bookbags are not allowed in the classrooms. Students seem to be settling in and getting use to the daily routine, rules, and procedures. This week we are beginning Unit 1 of our Common Core Standards. Unit 1 consist of Number System Fluency. We began interpreting and dividing fractions using various models to help solve for the quotient. I have asked students to take their math textbook home and leave there for the year. We do not use them in class. It is a resource that they can use for extra practice and a helpful tool to assist with homework.

Homework:

Monday: Define Unit 1 vocabulary words given

Tuesday:  Explain to a parent how use a fraction model to solve the problen 1 1/2 divided by 1/2.

Wednesday:  4 problem handout on dividing

Thursday:  Textbook pg. 58 #\'s 1-13

Friday: No homework
