Math
Homework
Non-Magnet: Homework 1-4 Place Value Relationships pages 31-32
(from
enVision MATH workbook)
Magnet: Motivation Math Unit 2 Independent Practice page 17-18.
*be sure to show all work on problems. This may mean highlighting, underlining, circling, or writing out word problems.

PRACTICE
|
An enVision MATH
practice page will come home this week (most likely Tuesday) that describes
place value relationships and gives examples. This page (27 – 28) is for
practice only and does not need to come back to school. Once our Pearson
accounts are ready, students will be able to watch the Place Value
Relationships video for added at home support.
|
Graded homework begins this
week! As per grading in grouping, homework that is turned in late will have 10
points taken off for each day that it is late. Homework that is more than 3
days late may not be accepted.
We will continue looking at place
value this week, as well as place value relationships. Place value
relationships is a topic that can be a bit of a challenge, and sound confusing.
We will be using our envision MATH book and videos this week to help with place
value relationships.
Some of the areas we will be
focusing on this week are:
·
Compose and decompose numbers up to
100,000 using objects, pictorial models, and expanded notation
·
Represent numbers up to 100,00 using
standard form, word form, expanded form and expanded notation
·
compare
and order whole numbers up to 100,000 using the symbols (>, <, or =)
·
interpret
the value of each place-value position as 10 times the position to the right
and as one-tenth of the value of the place to its left
We will be representing these skills
in our math notebooks. Math notebooks can go home at any time for extra
practice and studying! Please be sure to return math notebooks to school each
day so that we may continue to take notes and work through examples in them.
Ways to represent numbers in different forms can also be found on our class
blog page here.
MATH RESOURCES FOR PRACTICE
ABCya - Base Ten BINGO – This game has
your child match a set of base ten blocks with a correct 4 digit number. You
can select as many place value to practice at a time as you want up to the
thousands place.
Splash Math -
Expanded and Word Forms – Practice converting numbers from expanded and word
form to standard form.
Sheppard Software -
Math Man – I may have played this game for longer than I should
have! It’s Pac-Man, but with place value! A digit and its place value is given
and you have to find and “eat” the ghost with the correct number. It’s so much
fun!
Sheppard Software -
Place Value Shapes Shoot – This game is PERFECT for practicing the various ways
a number may be represented in short word form (with numbers and words). A
number is given and your job is to choose the correct representation. The
tricky part is when place value amounts exceed 9!
Sheppard Software -
Fruit Splat – Practice converting numbers from expanded form to
standard form. There are 3 levels ranging from 2 digit to 2 digit numbers.
There are also 3 challenge levels that require regrouping between place values!
Play in untimed or timed mode!
These links can be accessed on our Place
Value and Money Symbaloo here. As we continue
through the unit, more links will be added.
THIS WEEK IN SCIENCE:
We will continue looking at how scientist work and
fair testing! We spent Friday setting up for our first investigation of the
year and will be conducting it in class on Monday! We will be practicing how to
run a fair test by testing different types of paper and their ability to be
shot into a trash can. We will also move on to looking at measuring length
using our paper meter tapes that were sent home as homework this past week.
Some of the areas we will be focusing on this week
are:
●
How to use simple tools and current technology to
measure data
●
How to design a fair test
●
Components of a fair test
●
How to make measurements with appropriate units
●
Standard measurement units in the metric system
Khan Academy - Mass – View video that discusses mass, then practice
with questions that compare grams and kilograms! You can also practice
different word problems with mass. *When
accessing from Symbaloo, click the navy Learner’s, start here button, Math By
Grade – 3rd, measurement and data, and then choose mass.
·
Student will be setting up their own accounts
for Khan Academy within the upcoming weeks using their school email addresses.
This is the same email address they will use to log into our chrome books. If
you would like to begin practicing at home, you can have your child create
their own account with their school email by clicking this link. The code to join
our class is VFQR45RK. Their password will be the same password they use to log
on to the computer at school. If you would like this information, please let me
know and I will send it home!
Discovery Education - Meter Video – Students will log into their Discovery Education
accounts using Ready Hub. This video goes through what a meter is, what we may
measure with a meter, and what segments a meter is broken down into.
These links can be accessed on our Scientists
Measure Symbaloo here. As we continue
through the unit, more links will be added.
Thank you so much for your dedication to helping your child learn!
