Greetings one and all,

Here is the Math for a Thursday:

*Note that Mangoes and Papayas have different homework due to the fact they took a test on Monday, they Kiwis did not get into the computer lad to take that test till today, that is why their homework if shorter

Pages 13 and 14

We're working on addition with larger numbers.
We developed two unique ideas to help us out here.  One is a spatial issue.  If you simply take the smaller of the two numbers and rewrite that under the larger number, you can really save work space on your paper and make things a little easy on yourself:

Example:

24,123 + 4,113

Would look like

24,123
  4,113

The other method we talked about was using regular lined paper and turning the paper sideways and using the lines as guides to help with our place value alignment.  We also reminded folks that when we write these numbers in we should start lining up the ONES place then move out to the larger place values.

****We're looking at a Unit test on Friday, October 9

Keep working hard guys and gals,

MR. K
