In multiplication, we are continuing
to work on the multiplication facts as well as word problems. We are focusing
on writing the find statement, showing our work, and stating the solution. I am
really trying to emphasize that the solution must answer the question being asked. If the word
problem is asking: "Will Tom have enough candles?" and you write 22 x
4 = 88, you have not answered the question completely.
Here is an example that we did as a class. As you can see, we came up with
a variety of strategies for solving this problem such as base ten materials,
grouping, addition, and multiplication.
Also, our students are looking forward to showcasing their talent at the Kinsmen Music Festival next Thursday and Friday. According to the schedule that was provided to us and assuming that performances are running on time, the Grade 3/4's Choral Speaking is scheduled to occur at 10:30 a.m. on Thursday, March 27th. Some students will be attending on Friday as they will be participating in the Dance component of the festival.
Stay tuned for more updates next week :)
