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.
