Week of August 31 to September 4

Happy Week 3!

Math Facts:
Our focus for the week is addition review 2. Make sure any missed or incorrect problems are written out 3 times each for homework.

1st Years:
This week we are working on multiplication. We are multiplying whole numbers 2 digits by 2 digits and 2 digits by 3 digits. We are also working on multiplying multiples of 10.

2nd Years:
This week we are working on adding and subtracting positive and negative numbers.
Here are some notes we took in class:


positive + positive = positive
negative + negative = negative

Subtracting a negative is the same as adding.

Subtracting a positive or adding a negative is SUBTRACTION!

2 like signs when subtracting = positive
2 unlike sign when subtracting = negative


AS ALWAYS PLEASE ASK FOR HELP IF YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND. I AM NOT A MIND READER. NOT UNDERSTANDING IS NOT A GOOD REASON FOR NOT DOING YOUR HOMEWORK.
