This week, Project Lead the way begins and lasts until December 20.

Project Lead the Way is taught by Mrs. Kip-Dohn while Ms. Hubbard assists and monitors the classroom.

The Halloween parade is 1:40. Class party immediately follows it. (There was a sign up genius sent via email.)

The homework for the week is 2.8 and 2.12.

The homework for last week was 2.9, 2.10 and 2.11.

The unit test is Wednesday, Oct. 30. A pretest will precede the test on Tuesday. Below are the outcomes assessed, common core standards. Please excuse the length.

Unit 2: Number Stories and Arrays

Operations & Algebraic Thinking

Operations & Algebraic Thinking
3.OA.A. Represent and solve problems involving multiplication and division.
	3.OA.A.1. Interpret products of whole numbers, e.g., interpret 5 × 7 as the total number of objects in 5 groups of 7 objects each.
	3.OA.A.2. Interpret whole-number quotients of whole numbers, e.g., interpret 56 ÷ 8 as the number of objects in each share when 56 objects are partitioned equally into 8 shares, or as a number of shares when 56 objects are partitioned into equal shares of 8 objects each.
	3.OA.A.3. Use multiplication and division within 100 to solve word problems in situations  involving equal groups, arrays, and measurement quantities.
3.OA.C. Multiply and divide within 100.
	3.OA.C.7. Fluently multiply and divide within 100, using strategies such as the relationship  between multiplication and division (e.g., knowing that 8 × 5 = 40, one knows 40 ÷ 5 = 8) or properties of operations. By the end of Grade 3, know from memory all products of two one-digit numbers.
3.OA.D. Solve problems involving the four operations, and identify and explain patterns in  arithmetic.
	3.OA.D.8. Solve two-step word problems using the four operations. Represent these  problems using equations with a letter standing for the unknown quantity. Assess the  reasonableness of answers using mental computation and estimation strategies including rounding.
Number & Operations in Base Ten
3.NBT.A. Use place value understanding and properties of operations to perform multi-digit arithmetic.
	3.NBT.A.2. Fluently add and subtract within 1000 using strategies and algorithms based on place value, properties of operations, and/or the relationship between addition and subtraction.
Mathematical Practice
MP.The Standards for Mathematical Practice describe varieties of expertise that mathematics  educators at all levels should seek to develop in their students.
	MP.1. Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them. Show details
	MP.2. Reason abstractly and quantitatively. Show details
