Goals

Students will be able to do 2-digit additions and subtractions, single digit multiplications and divisions in their mind. They will be able to solve multi step problems that involve money, date, time and measurement. They will also solve multi step problems that can have any combination of operations.

Students will be able to identify and complete number/geometric patterns and calculate the perimeter of simple geometric shapes. They will solve two variable picture algebra. They will be comfortable doing data analysis using tally charts and bar/line graphs.

Students will be solving a wide range of Continental Math problems. They will be solving over 500 word problems in the school year. We will be focusing on how to write steps to solve a problems, and teaching the students to work neatly which is a big challenge at this age!
