Hi parents,
We had a bit of a loud and unruly day today, even after spending lots of time outside in the morning.
We learned the 'repeated addition' strategy in multiplication. This basically just involves adding a number to itself over and over again. It's a good introductory strategy for 2-digit by 1-digit multiplication, because you can solve a problem like "24 x 4 = ___" simply by adding 24 + 24 + 24 + 24. This addition isn't any more difficult than what we've already covered, but the potential to carry a number other than '1' might throw students off.
We went over this week's spelling words and practiced them. We also did Daily LA, and read the first few chapters of Wish Tree. At the end of the day we had Music.
Have a nice night,
Zac
