4th and 5th graders are continuing their work with addition. Most 4th graders are working with 4 to 5 digit numbers. 5th graders are working with numbers up to 9,999,999,999. 6th graders have moved on to their review of subtraction with re-grouping (borrowing). Students are using the Stamp Game and Small/Large Bead Frames as necessary but many students have progressed to doing the work without the aide of the Montessori materials (pencil and paper only – abstractly).
7th graders are getting their first taste of Algebra. This week we are working with the Distributive Property and Simplification. Algebra 1 students have just finished their work with distance formula and those pesky train and plane problems.
