Cash Math I: Next week we will continue with fractions. Our focus will be on equal shares, unit fractions of a whole, and fractions on a number line. We will continue to review multiplication with timed tests. Please practice at home with your child. They know what they need to study.

Cash Math II: We are winding up the first half of our fraction unit. There will be a test on Thursday. A practice test will be Tuesday. The students can use the practice test as a study guide. Next, we will begin a unit on comparing fractions. If your child has not passed all of their timed multiplication tests please practice more at home.
