Solve measurement and conversion problems. | Amelia is running a 3-kilometer race. She has run 575 meters so far. How much farther does she need to run to finish the race? (There are 1,000 meters in a kilometer.) |
In our math class, students spend time discussing problems in depth and are asked to share their reasoning and solutions. It is most important that children accurately and efficiently solve math problems in ways that make sense to them. At home, encourage your child to explain his or her math thinking to you.
Please look for more information and activities about How Many Packages and Groups? that will be sent home in the coming weeks.
