This week in math...

Our class will be working on area / perimeter in math this week.  Students will be designing a garden using the area model and will determine the amount of garden soil and fencing they will need. Students will also use array paper to create a picture and will determine the area and perimeter of their artistic creation using multiplication facts they know.  This week's homework does include area and perimeter but this skill will not be assessed at this point in the year.  Next week, we will continue to work on multiplication as we begin chapter seven in our Math in Focus program.
