Our first unit is all about Understanding Multiplication and Division. In this unit our primary focus is on answering the question, "How do we represent and solve problems involving multiplication and division in every day life?" We use a variety of strategies: showing multiplication and division in arrays, equal groups, and as hops on a number line. Students will use multiplication and division within 100 to solve word problems by using drawings and equations with a letter for the unknown number to represent the problem. Patterns in the addition or multiplication tables will be a focus as well as continued work with place value concepts. Telling and writing time to the nearest minute and using a number line diagram to show increments of time are another area we will work on. Additionally, we will work on interpreting scaled picture and bar graphs that represent a data set with several categories. A parent communication letter and resource guide that outlines many of these concepts and the work we will be doing was shared during Curriculum Night or sent home in a special folder with your child. Some of the tools and strategies we use in the classroom can be found in your child's binder under the "math" tab. As always, thank you so much for your support!
