This summer in math: Practice multiplication, division, subtraction and addition. These basics will be invaluable to a great year next year.
Stuff to do at home:
More useful math stuff for times when you need something to do: Fractions and their equivalent percent! REEEEEAAAAAAALLLLLLYYYYY Important! Especially for our current unit of study.
1/8 = 12 1/2 %
1/6 = 16 2/3 %
1/5 = 20%
1/4 = 25%
1/3 = 33 1/3 %
3/8 = 37 1/2 %
2/5 = 40%
1/2, 2/4, 3/6, T/2T = 50%
3/5 = 60%
5/8 = 65 1/2 %
2/3 = 66 2/3 %
3/4 = 75%
5/6 = 83 1/3 %
7/8 = 87 1/2 %
1/1, 2/2, 3/3, T/T = 100% Know the fraction. Be the fraction!
Study the 16 basic multiplication facts! This assumes that you know all of your 0s,1s, 2s, 5s, 10s, and doubles (like 8X8=64...6X6=36). When you read "know" that means like instantly, kind of like you know how to breathe. So, you can study the facts that are not in the list as well if you need to.
So, 16 Facts Coming Right At You:
9x8
9x7
9x6
9x4
9x3
8x7
8x6
8x4
8x3
7x6
7x4
7x3
6x4
6x3
4x3 Make flash cards. Mix them up. Quiz Granny. Become a multiplying maniac!
Please see your teacher's math page for information regarding homework this week.
How to Create a Complete Answer to a Word Problem
> Write an equation Samples: 714 ¸ 2= n 47 + 52 = n 47 x n = 94
> Solve the problem using as much visual evidence as possible, especially if you are using a traditional “column form” strategy—This might include a chart, number line, graph, picture, or other visual aid
> Rewrite the equation with the answer--Samples 714 ¸ 2 = 357 47 + 52 =99
> Write the answer in a COMPLETE SENTENCE that restates the question.
Example :
Gidgi has 67 students, and Kay has 53 students. Who has the most students and by how much?
Estimate: Gidgi has 15 more students in her class.
Equation: 67 - 53 = n
Work: 60 7
- 50 3
____________
10 + 4 = 14
Gidgi has 14 more students in her class than Kay.
Ask yourself, "Does my answer make sense?" If not, please fix the work or at least highlight the work so that you can ask about the problem in class:-}
Please be sure to scroll down to the bottom of this page to see all of the related files. There is great information and some samples of student work included, but if you don't scroll, you might miss it :-}

Building Automaticity with Basic Mmultiplication Facts.....
Is your child having trouble recalling basic multiplication facts such as "8 x 7" easily? Please check out our new link "Strategies for Learning the Basic Multiplication Facts" for a series of specific strategies for learning the facts with "number sense". These strategies have been developed by John A. Van de Walle, a nationally known and respected mathematics educator and researcher. They are very helpful and connect very well with how we learn mathematics each and every day in our mathematics workshops!
