• Unit 1

    Dear Parent or Guardian:

    Today we began Compute with Multi-Digit Numbers. In this chapter, your student will learn how to multiply and divide decimals. Also, we will be using estimation in all steps of multiplication and division as a way to check the reasonableness of products and quotients. Included in this letter are key vocabulary words and activities you can do with your student. If you have any questions or comments, feel free to contact me at school.

    Sincerely,
     
    Miss Breier
