Parents and Readers of this blog:

Math this week consist of our students having to place, choose and make decisions about numbers.

Greater Than  > and   Less Than <

1st  our students are to decide how to use   Greater Than  > and   Less Than <

for example if  our student gets this problem:

           639 _____ 472   

     they have to use > or <  

                

           639 _ > _ 472  

and be able to tell me that this is a "greater than" problem    

        ( I was amazed at how many got this wrong)

Our students know the larger number and the lesser number but the signs still confused them. We did work on that today.

Before, After and Between

Our students today had to know by 1, what number comes before, after and between.

For example:           

                               What number comes after 472 ?       473

                                What number comes before 474 ?  473

What number comes between 472 _____?_______474     473

 Please explain to your students to go over each problem and not to rush. Even though they seem easy even the teacher "gets confused"...lol

I found a great website to practice math:    Softschools.com

Thank You parents for all you do!
