Today

We began working today on problem and solution. We read a short story about a student who couldn't figure out why his glasses were blurry. Turned out that he accidentally switched them with a classmate.

We also began discussing factors and products in math class. We drew arrays to represent multiplication. Most of the students were very familiar with this due to seeing it in previous schooling. I ask that all students study those facts 5 minutes a day to nail them down to memory. It makes a world of difference. Even in the car to practice can be used to brush up.
