Math: During math this week, we will continue in our fractions unit. On Monday, we will use cuisenaire rods to identify and compare fractions.
On Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, we will learn to use a place a fraction on a number line and then use the number line to compare fractions. Reference the video to understand how we will be teaching this concept to your child: Video for Fractions on a Number Line. Due to our shortened week, we will only have a worksheet on Monday and Tuesday night. The fast facts quiz will be moved to Thursday.
Science: This week during science, we will learn how to read a thermometer to measure temperature. We will practice reading thermometers using scales of 1, 2, 5, and 10. These are the most common scales for a thermometer. On Wednesday, we will begin using technology to research temperatures of cities in different regions of the United States to understand the variety of seasons and temperatures we have in the US. By the end of the week, your child should understand how to identify the scale of a thermometer to determine the temperature.
