Math Learning Goals: 3D Shapes
3.6A(R)- classify and sort two- and three-dimensional figures, including cones, cylinders, spheres, triangular and rectangular prisms, and cubes, based on attributes using formal geometric language
3.6B(S)- use attributes to recognize rhombuses, parallelograms, trapezoids, rectangles, and squares as examples of quadrilaterals and draw examples of quadrilaterals that do not belong to any of these subcategories
Math Homework:
Math homework is due this Thursday. It was passed out today, Friday. Please study all of your multiplication facts this week. (0’s-10’s) Students are expected to recall facts to multiply up to 10 by 10 with automaticity.
Multiplication Test: Mad Three Minutes
We will take a multiplication test on Tuesday this week due to benchmarks. The test consists of 30 multiplication problems. Instead of giving one minute, students will be given three minutes. This grade will be averaged with future multiplication tests for one grade in the grade book at the end of the 9 weeks.
