Objectives:
1. Round a decimal number to the nearest whole number.
2. Practice previously learned skills, reteaching where necessary.
On Tuesday, use Review A to assess your student's understanding of the skills learned. There is no need to do every problem if your student understands the concepts well. You may only need to do one or two problems of some skills, and all the problems of others, depending on your student's needs. However, I would recommend everyone work the word problems on p.30, bar modeling where necessary.
Work through Mental Math 3 & 4 this week. Next week we will start adding/subtracting, multiplying/dividing decimals, so keep honing those math facts!
