Math

This week, we will wrap up module 5 which is all about fractions. We will complete lessons 27, 28, and 29. These lessons focus on explaining equivalence, comparing fractions with pictures and comparing fractions and reasoning about their size. Our End of Module 5 Assessment is on Friday, March 20.

 

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.
