Math

This week, we will continue on module 5 which is all about fractions. We will complete lessons 15, 16, and 18. These focus on placing numbers on a number line and comparing fractions by reasoning their distance from 0. Our Mid Module 5 Assessment will take place on Tuesday, March 3. 

 

Need help with homework? Search "Eureka Math, third grade, module 1 lesson ___" on YouTube :) Each day in class, we will be completing a portion (or all) of the problem set. Students are responsible for completing the corresponding homework pages for our daily lesson on Monday through Thursday each week. Please make sure your child is putting their workbook right back in their backpack after completing their homework. You will find all homework assignments written in their planner and on our class webpage.
