Important Information:

The conference link was emailed home today at 5:00pm.

The students will participate in the March-A-Thon on Friday during their special class.

The chapter 1 math tests were returned last week. Please review, sign, and return it to school.

Lesson 2.6: We will divide by 2-digit divisors.

Lesson 2.7: We will interpret what to do with the remainder. We will decide based on the word problem if we should ignore it, round it up, report it with the quotient, or report it alone as the final answer to the question.

Lesson 2.8: We will review estimation strategies and practice adjusting the first digit in the quotient if the estimate is too high or too low.

Lesson 2.9: We will use diagrams to solve multilevel division problems.

We will hopefully be ready for a short chapter 2 test on division by Tuesday of next week. Then we need to complete the Unit 1 test for chapters 1 and 2 next Thursday and Friday.
