Hello Parents & Students!

The end of the week is fast approaching--drawing our unit on Number Sense to a close!    As we work together to prepare for Friday's post-test, here is a list of skills we have covered in this unit:

  • basic addition & subtraction facts and strategies
  • place value to the thousands place
  • digits vs. numbers
  • forms of a number (standard, picture, word and expanded)
  • comparing & ordering numbers 
  • Odd/Even numbers
  • rounding to the nearest 10 and 100 

We will spend another day reviewing in class tomorrow :)  Check out A Plus Math as a helpful website to review these skills!
