<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic", sans-serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">I am so excited about this school year. We will grow our math skills in so many ways! I will use this blog to post announcements, newsletters, and math homework. I am looking forward to working with your child this year!</span><br />

<b><span style="font-family: "Century Gothic", sans-serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Here are some tips for getting your 5<sup>th</sup> grader ready for math</span></b><span style="color: #00b0f0; font-family: "Century Gothic","sans-serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 36.0pt;">:<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<ul>
<li><span style="color: #00b050; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%; text-indent: -0.25in;"><span style="font-family: Symbol;"> </span></span><span style="color: #00b050; font-family: "Century Gothic", sans-serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%; text-indent: -0.25in;">Basic multiplication and division fact fluency is a must! There are so many funwebsites and apps your child can use to practice. Your child will find math more enjoyable if they are fluent with their facts. Basic facts are used in almost every math skill!</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #f79646; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%; text-indent: -0.25in;"><span style="font-family: Symbol;"> </span></span><span style="color: #f79646; font-family: "Century Gothic", sans-serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%; text-indent: -0.25in;">Encourage your child to think outside the box when solving problems. Mathematics is not a one size fits all subject. There are many ways to arrive at the same answer. Encourage your child to use what they know to solve challenging problems. </span></li>
<li><span style="color: #7030a0; text-indent: -0.25in;"><span style="font-family: Symbol;"><span style="font-size: 19px; line-height: 21px;"> </span></span><span style="font-size: 7pt;"> </span></span><span style="color: #7030a0; font-family: "Century Gothic", sans-serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%; text-indent: -0.25in;">Begin working with your child on the standard multiplication algorithm. We learned many ways to build our conceptual knowledge about multiplication in 4<sup>th</sup>grade. We will now transition to the standard algorithm in 5<sup>th</sup> grade. Please encourage your child to check their work using strategies based on place value, such as the open area model, or partial quotients. These strategies help your child build number sense which is crucial for math understanding.</span></li>
