Welcome back! We have had a terrific start to the new year. The students seem rested and ready to learn new things.
We have started a new unit in math. The following are the vocabulary terms needed for the next two units:
division: the operation that tells how many equal groups there are or how many are in each group.
dividend: the number to be divided
divisor: the number by which another number is divided
quotient: the answer to a division problem
The standards that we will be covering include:
3.OA.A.2.Use models to solve division problems involving sharing and record solutions using division number sentences
3.OA.A.3 Use multiplication and division facts to find the value of an unknown in an equation
3.OA.B.6 Use multiplication tables to solve division problems
3.OA.B.6 Relate multiplication and division facts by using fact families
3.OA.O.3 Write and solve number stories involving division
3.OA.D.8 Solve multi-step problems
The children are very excited to be starting division. It is important that we continue to help them master their multiplication facts as this will obviously help them with these units, as well as build a strong foundation for future math work. To that end, I have switched all students to multiplication on Xtramath. We have also started very focused individual fact practice. Children should be reviewing their specific flashcards each evening.
I have sent home a new math game that should help with this goal, as well. Look for "Winter Cover It" in your child's folder. Enjoy!
