Math Update

We have recently completed multiplication/division with 2-3 digits by 1 digit.

We learnt how to solve this level of question in multiplication using many strategies such as:

-partial products strategy
-pictures (equal groups)
-number line (skip counting)

For division, students favourite strategies were:

-array
-pictures
-skip counting

We have begun looking at fractions and decimals. We are starting by looking at parts of a whole and understanding that proper fractions are between 0 and 1.

Try ordering the below fractions from least to greatest

• 1/5, 1/10, 7/8

• ¾, 9/10, 2/5

• 3/6, 2/9, 1/5

• 4/8, 2/10, ¼
