Mystery - Unsolved?

In science we put our fingerprint classification to practice to try and solve a fictional crime scene. Unfortunately, the accountants prints were the only ones found on the safe BUT his prints were the only ones that had a reason to be there...crime solving isn't as simple as they thought!

In math we did a massive review while including some new content dealing with subtraction and estimation. Tomorrow we have our first quiz on everything we've learned so far...be looking for it this weekend!

Homework:

Everyone - Expanded Form worksheet and p. 55 (2-12 even)

In reading we had some group activities happening today. One group listened to a story on tape that we've been working on and some others worked in small groups on realistic fiction characteristics. And, as usual, I completed some more reading assessments today...

For the first time we tried a homeroom problem-solving activity. The groups used base ten blocks to show all the ways the number (quantity) 55 could be made. The purpose of this task is for all students to develop mathematical fluency.
