Area and Perimeter

We finally finished our fraction unit! Students really have surprised me in math.  We do 2 math classes in the morning, and there are many times that the students ask me to continue to teach during snack so we can continue to learn! This means that we do around 2 hours of straight math!

With that being said, we are currently refreshing our knowledge of area and perimeter, as well as learning patterns in multiplying by 10, 100, and 1,000.  This will help us in learning how to multiply larger numbers, as well as divide larger numbers.  So, it is more important than ever that students practice and recall their multiplication facts!  I will be posting ideas and activities as I find them here on this blog.  

This will be a quick unit, but it has necessary skills to help students be successful in life.  Pretty soon, students will be able to multiply numbers such as 145 X  34!  Let's get ready for a fast paced, but fun unit!
