February Number Corner: The arrival of the tenth decade, the 100th day of school, makes February an exciting month. Both the Days in School and Number Line workouts pay tribute to this special number. The Computational Fluency workout brings focus on multiple addends, and students use a variety of efficient strategies to compose groups flexibly. In addition to the numeration work, students name and describe pairs of two-dimensional shapes shown on the Calendar Grid markers and determine whether or not the shapes in each pair are congruent.
Bridges Unit 4 Module 3: The third module continues to develop students’ conceptual understanding of our number system through explorations with open and closed number lines. In particular, it focuses on skip-jumps along the number line in multiples of 5 and 10. Students have fun guiding frogs that hop over stones and lily pads, racing along number lines both forward and backward in distances of 1, 5, and 10, and develop confidence adding and subtracting in multiples of 5 and 10 both on and off the decade.
Science: We will be focusing on Sound and Light.
