Math Gamma ones explored division this week and learned how it is related to multiplication. They gained an understanding of the concept of division by listening to stories that involved division. They are becoming experts on fact families! Gamma twos also explored division by applying the rules of divisibility and dividing by 10’s […]

Wow! This week really flew by. These Gammas impress us every day with the knowledge they have and their eagerness to learn cool new things! Math Gamma ones wrapped up multiplication by solving and creating word problems. We will be setting our sights on division next week, but please keep working on memorizing those basic facts. In Gamma 2 we learned about factors and multiples and played “Factor Captor”. Our week was rounded out by learning the rules of divisibility which will help as we tackle long division. ELA This week Gammas read several fables and learned the characteristics of

We are proud of our Gammas for how hard they have worked this quarter, and we are so grateful for your support! Math We are learning about multiplication. Gamma one learned that it is repeated addition and practiced setting up multiplication equations based on equal groups. Gamma two is moving on into two digit by two digit multiplication using several strategies including partial products and the standard algorithm. Memorizing the
