This has been a busy week, and I hope everyone is looking forward to a restful weekend. When we get back on Monday, we will be reviewing the concepts taught in math--place value, exponents, comparing numbers, and rounding numbers--in preparation for a quiz on Tuesday. We will spend the rest of the week working with various estimation strategies. There are many "rules" to learn and the rules for estimating sums and differences are different than the rules used when estimating products and quotients so your sixth grader will need to be on his/her toes! They will also be assigned a problem solving worksheet which is due Thursday. I have decided to move the due date up to Thursday for purely selfish reasons--fewer papers for me to check over the weekend!! DGPs will also be due on Thursday. We will alternate between problem solving and DGP; this week there is problem solving, next week there will be DGP.
In Social Studies we will be taking a closer look at different types of maps and deciding which maps works best to answer different types of questions. We will then apply all we have learned about maps to create our own maps.
