Greetings one and all,

Here is the homework and discussion for a Tuesday night:

Math  Unit 1:  Lesson 2

*H and R pages 3 and 4 for Wednesday

Today, we continued to work with identifying PLACE VALUE, but we introduced 3 ways in which numbers can be written.

1.  Standard Form:  Simply the way we are used to writing numbers.  If our example is 932.  The 9 is in the hundreds place, the 3 is in the tens place, and the 2 is in the ones place.

2.  Word Form:  In this case we write the number out using words.  If our example is 932 once again, we'd write the number as, nine hundred thirty-two.
(It is important to note that a hyphen goes between the tens and the ones digit, but it's not something we will take points off for...just be aware)
*Also note...no AND in any of that!

3.  Expanded Form:  In this case we are taking each number and stretching it out using the + symbol to show the value of each place.

900 + 30 + 2

Each number is given the value of it's place.

Reading:  We did the Dibels testing today (we're looking at speed and fluency with this test)

Writing:  We're working on personal narratives to begin the year.  We listed some of our favorite people and places today.  Check with your students about who they listed, and maybe some more ideas that would be good for them to write about.

****Picture Day on Thursday this week!

Thanks.

Mr. K
