This week, we will continue our last module of third grade- Module 7! We will focus on solving perimeter word problems. We will take our Mid-Module Assessment on Wednesday, the 21st.
Zearn: Students will always be one lesson ahead on Zearn. This means that on Friday, students already completed module 1 lesson 1. This is in an effort to frontload information and increase student confidence in math. Students will be provided with time to complete Zearn in the classroom each day, however if they do not finish the assigned lesson they will need to finish at home.
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.
