8. Homework Read 20 minutes per night
Reading Log is given on Monday; due back Friday

9. Mathematics Students learn how to express math in a variety of ways
using manipulatives
pictures
Written explanations
Students will learn a variety of strategies to problem solve, and should not necessarily depend on exclusive memorization of facts.
Students typically need support with understanding word problems.

Partitioning Shapes
Given rectangles or circles divide into halves or fourths
Partitioned pieces must equal in size to be considered halves or fourths
