Wonderful Wednesday!!
We began the day practicing our multiplication skills. Each day we are given ten minutes to fill in a multiplication chart. It is very important that students know their multiplication table and are able to use this knowledge to improve on their division skills. We reviewed our homework about using mental math strategies and then we moved onto Divisibility Rules. We practiced some examples as a class.
Then we learned about Limericks!! We had a lot of fun reading limericks and creating our own!!
Here are two that we read:
Here are the success criteria for our own Limerick:
