Math Update

In math class, we have been learning about patterns. The kinds of patterns we are studying include numerical patterns (400, 200, 100, 50...) and geometric patterns.

We will also study functions and graphs. A function is a relationship shared by two sets of numbers. This week, students will practice naming the rule of the table and stating it in an equation:

X  0  2  4  6  8
Y  2  4  6  8 10

Rule: x2 (multiply by 2)
Equation: X x 2 = Y

Graphs are another way of seeing the relationships shared by two sets of numbers. Students will learn to graph functions from a table.

Please remember to check in with your child to see if he/she is in need of any help with the Homework and Remembering assignments. These sheets should be coming home almost every night and need to be completed by the next day.  Students are given quite a bit of time throughout the day to work on their math, so there should not be much left to do for homework.
