Math:
Next week we will begin using the new math curriculum! We are all very excited to use this new tool. We will be reviewing place value and the idea that the value of a digit depends on its place in a number. Our values will range from hundred millions to thousandths.
We will review that a digit in any place has 10 times the value it would have in the place to its right, and 1/10 the value it would have in the place to its left. We will also use exponents to write powers of 10.
There will be math homework each week night that will review what we have learned in class and other basic concepts.
Keep practicing those multiplication facts! Fluency in these makes math so much easier.

An at home activity you can do with your child to review:

Place the Digit
Materials: number cards for 0-9, paper, pencil
1. Mix and place the cards face down. Your child picks the top card while you name a place from ones to millions.
2. Have your child write a number that includes the digit on the card in the place you named. Alternate roles and repeat until all the cards have been used. Increase the difficulty of the game by including the digit on the card in two or more places in a single number.
