Math Update
Classes are starting a new unit about multiplication and division called Multiple Towers and Cluster Problems. During this unit, students will build on the work they did in Unit 1. Students will be solving multiplication problems with 2-digit numbers, division word problems, and problems about multiples and number relationships. Throughout the unit, students work toward these goals:
Students will work on multiplication and division again later this year in unit 7, when they will solve problems with larger numbers and share a variety of solution strategies. In our math class, students spend time discussing problems in depth and are asked to share their reasoning and solutions. It is most important that children accurately and efficiently solve math problems in ways that make sense to them. At home, encourage your child to explain his or her math thinking to you. Please look for more information and activities about Unit 3 that will be sent home in the coming weeks.
