Everyone, please read the note at the bottom of the home page!
Week of November 3 (and after)
The class is taught in strands. Each class period, the students are presented two to three topics (strands) that
are not mutually dependent. In other words, they don't need to know one subject to understand the other one.
This
approach avoids boredom and brain meltdown. It also allows me to revisit each topic more frequently, giving the students
more opportunities to ask questions and catch on.

Current Topics
We are beginning to work on arithmetic table skills. Students should be fluent in their intuitive knowledge to the
addition, subtraction, multiplication and division facts.
This will continue most of this nine week
period.
This week we will be finishing all review of addition and subtraction rules for decimal numbers. The class should
be able to work ANY of the following problems: page 199: 8 - 16
We should also be finishing up multiplication of decimal numbers. The class should be able to work ALL problems
on p. 207: 1 - 12.
We will be starting serious fraction work. See the following problem sets: Pages 147,8: 2-4; page 152: 4,
