Today students took a quiz on estimation. For each problem, they were to show how they rounded the numbers as well as their estimated answer. Students should also be able to tell whether their estimate is in the 0.1s, 1s, 10s, 100s, 1,000s, 10,000s, etc. Here are the questions if you would like to review them before the test!

Math Packets

Inside of the Friday/Monday folder, students will be bringing home their Chapter One Math Packets. The Math Packet contains all of the homework for chapter one. Students are assigned one page per night. The following day, we check the work in class. This gives students the opportunity to review concepts and clear up any questions they had while completing the homework.

At the end of each chapter I will be grading the Math Packet. I will not check each and every problem, but I will spot check to ensure students are correcting their papers as needed as well as completing their work. For each page that is not completed and corrected with excellence, the student's grade on the packet will drop one letter grade.

If your student received a C + or below, please discuss with them the importance of correcting their papers in class and completing their homework at home the night before. You might want to check your student's packet to see that they are making the necessary corrections in class if they got below a C+ this time.

Array Museum

For Math Chapter One, students were asked to bring in household items that contained an array. In an array, each row contains the same number of objects, and each column has the same number of items. Several students took advantage of this extra credit opportunity. Can you write a number sentence for the following arrays?

Number 21 brought it an egg carton (2 rows, 6 columns), crayons (3 rows, 8 columns), and water bottles (3 rows, 2 columns).

Number 24 brought a paper game (2 rows, 2 columns), Number 28 brought in a plastic peg board (14 rows, 14 columns), and number 7 brought in a Lego array (2 rows, 4 columns).

Number 20 brought in a cupcake array (4 rows, 6 columns), but it didn't last long enough to be a part of our museum! Yum!

Number eight brought in a paint pallate ( 3 rows, 8 columns).

Number 4 brought in an array of letters ( 5 rows, 4 columns).

Write a number sentence for one of the arrays to recieve extra credit. Make sure to say which object you are writing it for.
