MATH - Luhmann

Today in math we continued our discussion about division.  The students estimated problems and presented them to the class.  The homework is for the students to estimate 4 division problems and draw a scene for each problem.

Parents - Here's something for you.
A quote from an article titled "Important Facts to Know Bout Learning Math" by Tina Barseghian
"... yet studies show that “number talk” at home is a key predictor of young children’s achievement in math once they get to school."


So, what is "number talk"?  Talking about numbers in sports (stats), grocery shopping (bugetting money), asking them to explain their math homework to you.
