The pace of this accelerated math class continues to be extremely rapid, and we have covered a tremendous amount of content these past several weeks. Students have recently worked with properties of addition and multiplication and explored the distributive property in depth. They have seen for themselves how these properties can help them simplify expressions. They have also reviewed computation of decimals and worked with various models and algorithms to multiply and divide fractions.
We will have another multiplication speed test this Friday, October 28th. Students have discovered what an advantage they have during all these calculations if they have quick and accurate recall of their basic facts. If your child is still working to master these, please be sure to encourage frequent short bouts of practice.
