Today, our first mental math strategy was introduced. This week, we focused on Front End Addition and students will start next Thursday's class with a short quiz on this strategy. A few examples are:
23 + 85 (20 + 80 + 3 + 5 = 108)
347 + 531
1235 + 4622
2,4 + 3,5
Students can use these examples to review and practice for next Thursday's quiz.
We also played the game "Blocked" (pictured below) to help students review all of the divisibility rules before next Wednesday's quiz on our first outcome.
Reminder that divisibility rule booklets are due to Mme Roach tomorrow. Also, don't forget to wear your Cougar colours tomorrow to school!
Thanks for the great classes today!
