This new unit in math, we will be working with place value and adding and subtracting, including numbers with decimals (like money). Students shouldn't struggle with this if they are paying attention in class, but I have told them to practice at home. Their math journal is their greatest resource! While we have been back from break, I have introduced place value (ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, ten thousands, hundred thousands) and we have worked with standard form, expanded form, and word form of each number. There are examples in their journals of each of these! If you can practice adding and subtracting different amounts of money, that will help your student prepare for this unit. We will be working with rounding with different place values so if students cannot recognize the different places they will struggle with this!
Our next unit is fraction - be prepared!!
