This week we start "What's My Rule" in math with rule machines. This is a difficult concept and lots of students have trouble with it. I am going to send home a copy of a blank rule machine with every student. We will use these at school as well.
In order to use the rule machine sheet multiple times you may want to use a sticky note to write the rule on so that you don't have to write and erase the rule each time. Students will also need some type of counters (cheerios, crackers, pennies, etc) so they can actually act out what the rule machine is doing to each number that goes in. If you have any questions about this, or need any further assistance please let me know. It's somewhat difficult to explain until you've seen the sheet, but hopefully your child will know the basics of what to do from our math time in class.
Important Dates for this Week:
Homework: 5.12 on Tuesday, and 5.13 on Wednesday
Library and Check-Out: Tuesday
Spanish: Tuesday and Friday
