Hi parents,
We had another wonderful day today. Our simple machines display is coming along nicely, and we spent a big chunk of our morning working on it. The students have begun to build simple machines, that will be mounted on the wall to make the display more interactive and fun.
We did Daily LA in the morning, and our novel study work in the afternoon,
We learned the Repeated Addition strategy for multiplication. This strategy involves adding a number to itself over and over again for each time its being multiplied. For example, solving "12 x 3" as 12 + 12 + 12.
Repeated Addition is a good introductory strategy for multi-digit multiplication problems. For example, the students may struggle to solve "27 x 3 = ", but adding 27 + 27 + 27 isn't all that difficult, if you stack them.
At the end of the day, we continued working on our spelling practice crosswords. The students have started adding 'clues' and numbering their words.
Have a nice night,
Zac
