We completed our Mid-Module 5 Assessment last week which was pretty much all on adding 3-digit numbers using number bonds, arrow way, and composing or the vertical way.  This week we have been focusing on decomposing 3-digit numbers.  We will probably take the End of Module 5 assessment towards the end of next week.

Lesson 14 &15 
Objective: Use math drawings to represent subtraction with up to two decompositions, relate drawings to the algorithm, and use addition to explain why the subtraction method works.





Lesson  16 & 17 
Objective: Subtract from multiples of 100 and from numbers with zero in the tens place.






We will start our unit on continents and oceans next week.  There is now a 5th ocean that surrounds Antarctica called the Southern Ocean.
