The main strategies for division are partial quotient and traditional division! *We have been using this program called XtraMath to increase speed and accuracy in arithmetic here at school. Students have also been utilizing math prodigy and front row now known as Freckle. From now until the end of the school year, each student will be spending some time at home each day practicing math on a computer, tablet, or phone. The following morning, I will check in with the information to see the progress being made. Students will be working Monday night, Tuesday night, Wednesday night, and Thursday night! If a student does not complete their XtraMath that night with the exception of being absent, a TRAILBLAZER letter will be taken. Thank you for your support. Science-We will begin the next unit on Transfer of Energy in Collision. Words to be familiar with are: electric current, heat energy, light energy, sound energy, energy, contact, collision, force, energy transfer, and motion.
