Blue Group Homework
Today students began their first class with the Dresher musical instrument program. After a quick introduction, they chose a simple practice instrument to make, using tools--either percussion, wind, and string instruments. They will finish these tomorrow, then next week will begin the design process.
Fourth grade math
Students in the purple group started with quick images, writing equations for collections of dots, then continued work on division story problems with and without remainders.
Fifth grade math
Students worked today to find percents of a number. We began by using number sense: what's 100% of 200? Then 50% must be half of that, 25% is half of that, etc. We went so far as to practice changing the percentage to a decimal and multiplying with the algorithm to find trickier percentages, like what is 17% of 37.5? That last part will take some more practice tomorrow!
