Making Diagrams Monday

Today's math skill, Making Diagrams, is an important one. Why? Diagrams can help us "see" the problem. Diagrams can help us work through the problem, one step at a time. This is important, because most of the Common Core math problems have three or even four steps!  Today we discussed the importance of labels. Tonight, practice!  Label that diagram! Model each step of the problem, and make sure that you are answering the right questions.   I will send home graph paper.

This evening at home......

• Read and record on your log.
• Play some of the grammar games on Edmodo, if you have access.  
• Complete Science Fusion pages 374-382
• Complete the Go Math pages 117 and 118. Use the graph paper to draw models/diagrams.

Notes...

• We will work on our Pumpkin Writing in class tomorrow.  We got a bit done today. Tomorrow, we draft.
• Don't forget that the Pumpkin project is due on Thursday!  I can't wait to see those pumpkins!
• We will complete the Solid/Liquid/Gas Graphic Organizer in class tomorrow.  
• Great job studying for the Social Studies test!  I can tell that most kids put the time in this weekend.  The papers are graded, but I am having technical difficulties with my gradebook.  I will get them entered and returned A.S.A.P.!
