Hello parents! Hopefully your child has been showing you all the fun things that we have been putting into our journals everyday. As a reminder, it is good for children to review their journals daily. They should also be finishing any outputs they did not get done at school nightly.
In Math we are currently working on multiplication. I'm sure it does not look like it did when you were a kid! We teach several strategies to help students understand and learn multiplication. One of strategy is using an array. There is a fun activity (the M&M Activity) that can be done at home and I have linked it to this post. Just remember that rows go right to left, columns go up and down, and (when you write a multiplication sentence) the row goes first. For example 2x3 should be read as 2 rows of 3 objects. I hope you enjoy this activity with your child!
