Math
3rd Grade:
Signed Checkpoint A
Practice multiplication recall at least 3 times per week using the Xtramath site until you complete the first level, which covers basic multiplication of 0-5 with a 6-second recall.
We are currently working in Unit 1. Students interpret and represent data on picture graphs and scaled bar graphs, and solve one- and two-step word problems using the data. The use of scaled graphs and contexts with equal groups serves as a foundation for later units on multiplication.
4th Grade:
Students brought on Unit 1 Test on 9/28/26 for a parent signature. Please get the test signed and show me tomorrow.
Practice */ math facts for 10+ minutes each day!
In class, we have a goal of completing one session of Math Fact Practice in Prodigy which covers basic multiplication of 0-12 with a 6-second recall.. If your child misses a day of school, please ask him/her to complete this at home. It takes about 10 minutes.
