Our next module will be module 5. We will be returning to module 4 in a few weeks. 

Here are all the videos for module 5! 

Module 5 Topic A

How Can I Help My Child At Home?

• Explore fractions as you make sandwiches. Give a sandwich to your child. Ask her how many whole sandwiches she has. Cut your child’s sandwich in half. Ask her again how many whole sandwiches she has. Point to one half. Ask her to say the fraction that the piece represents. Point to the other half. Ask her again to say the fraction. Finally, ask her to say a number sentence that represents the decomposition ( ) 1 1 2 1 2 = + or ( ) 1 2 1 2 = × . Continue with this activity by decomposing the halves into smaller units (e.g., fourths, eighths).

• Use measuring cups to show equivalence. Measure 2 3 cup of water. Give your child the water and a 1 3 -cup measuring cup. Ask him how many times he will be able to fill the 1 3 -cup measuring cup with the water. Prompt him to prove it and then to say the decomposition in a number sentence, first using addition and then using multiplication (e.g., 2 3 1 3 1 3 = + and 2 3 2 1 3 = × ).

Module 3 Topic C Parent Tips - How To Help Your Child At Home

• Write a multiplication expression of a one-digit number times a two- three- or four- digit number. Prompt your child to roll the dice to decide which method to use to solve.

1- standard algorithm

2 - partial product

3 - area model

4- student choice! 

5- you solve! 

6 - use a calculator 

*This activity will be changing for students until they have had practice with all 3 ways. By Thanksgiving students will have learned all three ways! 

• Watch these videos together. They support the different methods of multiplying numbers that students are working on. 

Using a Place Value Chart

Standard Algorithm

Area Model and Partial Product

Module 3 Topic A Parent Tips - How To Help Your Child At Home

• Identify rectangular shapes at home. Use a tape measure or rule to find the length and width. Have your child calculate the area and perimeter. Use a calculator if necessary. 
• Find 2 dice. Give one to your child and one to you. Have your child roll the dice. Now you roll your dice. Using the numbers you rolled, prompt your child to find the number that is "_____" times as many as the number she rolled. Switch roles and repeat!
