This week in mathematics we continue to work on recognizing the properties of mathematics and how we see them appear in word problems and everyday life. Students have reviewed the concept of the associative property, as well as the commutative property, and this week we will dive into applying the distributive property and differentiating how and when to use each property.

This week we are working on finishing up our study of mixtures and solutions. Last week students worked to create mixtures and solutions and identify the different parts. This week we will continue to talk about separating mixtures and take our solutions and mixtures quiz before the end of the week. Students are really showing a great understanding and enjoying the experiments we are completing to better understand these concepts.

Communication Arts:
We continue to talk about problem and solution. Students are working in small groups to prove their understanding of the topic, as well as working with different stories that challenge them to pinpoint the problem and solution. Students also continue to work with figurative language, and will focus on using it in their writing to display their understanding of the concept. Our Treasures unit for this week is titled “Focus on China” we will be using these stories to help us explore problem and solution, as well as fact vs. opinion.
