Create some of your own questions and try to figure it out!
We reviewed multiplication and visualized them in 3 main ways. Students were asked to work on some short multiplication practice questions using one of the 3 visualization strategies. See below
We reviewed the concept of subtraction today. Please watch the video if you need a refresher.
We also have a quiz on the following next Monday October 18.
I am not in today, but the class will be doing this addition review in preparation of an addition/subtraction project coming in the next couple weeks. Try the game if possible as well!
When estimating sums, you choose which benchmark to round to. This means you decide whether to round to the nearest tens, hundreds, or thousands. The point of this is to get an approximate answer.
Here are two strategies.
Compatible numbers means rounding, using your judgement to the nearest tens, hundreds, or thousands.
Compensation means rounding down, then up, then down, regardless of whether the numbers are round up numbers or round down ones.
In class, I recommended you to stick with using compatible numbers (what you already know about rounding)
Try it out! Try the examples in the pictures and then make some of your own questions up.
Questions for homework are listed in the pictures near the bottom 🙂
