The deadline to donate will be the 21st so we can put the basket together and have it on display in the school foyer.

Chapter 1 Math

This first chapter in our math book is all about place value and money. We will be working on the following vocabulary words:

expanded form
standard form
word form
digits
value
place-value chart
period
rounding
decimal point
hundredth
tenth

Students have the definitions written in their math notebook and they also have a glossary at the back of their textbook.

****A letter went home in the "Tuesday folder" that gives you your child's username and password to access the math book online. There is a link in the top right corner of my blog to get to the web site.

We will be working on standard form, word form, & expanded form.
