Start your home school day with prayer and Bible reading. Our Character Virtue of the month is obedience. Obedience can be defined as "a willingness to do what is asked or required without complaint". Math:
We'll continue working with fractions this week, learning about mixed numbers, improper fractions and how to convert from one to the other.
Math Facts: Start each day with a 5 min warm up using the Math Facts Practice sheets. This week we will continue working on multiplication facts at school. Please continue doing facts practice sheets daily at home until all facts are completely mastered.
Mental Math: Continue your warm up with 5 minutes of Mental Math. This week work through Mental Math 15-16 in the HIG appendix.
Workbook Exercises: Please check these daily and have students make corrections.
Math Buddies: We encourage you to regularly use this web site to help you better understand how to teach a lesson and to provide opportunities for your child to practice new skills or review previously learned concepts that they may need extra practice with.

Bar Modeling: Bar modeling is a key component of problem solving. We will now do a practice "Bar Model of the Day" each day at school along with our normal math facts and mental math warm-ups. Encourage your student to use bar models for all word problems, even if they can solve without one, as it's good practice for the more difficult word problems.
