This week we are studying GCF (greatest common factor) and LCM (least common multiple), Students will complete a performance task on GCF this week indpendently. Please assist your child at home to with lesson that we have studied in class.
I have asked students to take their math textbook home and leave them 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 is given Monday thru Thursday weekly. Mrs. Tinsley and I make a point to initial homework assignments in students agenda books daily, to inform parents of nightly homework.
Homework:
Monday: GCF handout #'s1-12
Tuesday: GCF word problems
