Place Value Homework Packet

Last week, we started our new Math unit on place value.  For this unit, we are implementing a Blended Workshop Model which will allow students to learn and progress at their own pace.  While this is a new method for most, we believe that this will allow students to take more ownership in their learning and allow each student to get the most out of their math instruction.  During the Blended Workshop Model, students will be learning from a variety of sources, including small group teacher instruction, instructional videos, interactive practice time and varied options to show their learning. 

Your child is working on accomplishing the following 5 goals: 

Goal 1: I can read & write numbers in standard form and expanded form.

       Goal 2: I can compare and order numbers using the symbols <, >, or =. 

       Goal 3: I can round whole numbers to the nearest ten and nearest hundred using my understanding of place values.

        Goal 4: I can add whole numbers fluently to 1,000. 

        Goal 5: I can subtract whole numbers fluently to 1,000.     

Our plan right now is to complete the majority of this unit prior to the winter break. Along with this new unit of learning, we have a place value mystery packet that will be completed independently at home as homework. This packet was sent home today in the yellow Math folder. We will not be assigning certain pages a night. Instead, we will simply ask that students spend 20 minutes each afternoon working on their packets. The packet is due Friday, January 8th, 2016. Students will keep the packet in their math folders as students may sometimes get the chance to work on it in class.
