The problems they should do in this manner are:<\/p>\n
1. 46 x 28
\n2. 36 x 75

\n10. 3.6 x 7.5
\n11. 2.8 x 4.1
\n12. 5.2 x 3.3<\/p>\n
Each should be done with an area model, and then using the standard algorithm, pointing out the place value of the first step of the standard algorithm.<\/p>\n

In Language Arts we talked briefly about our family metaphor poems, and then metaphors in general. \u00a0We discussed another type of ‘compacted’ metaphor: a kenning. \u00a0A kenning is a much-compressed form of metaphor, originally used in Anglo-Saxon and Norse poetry. In a kenning, an object is described in a two-word phrase, such as ‘whale-road’ for ‘sea’. Some kennings can be more obscure than others, and then grow close to being a riddle. \u00a0We made a little kenning poem about teachers by listing things that teachers do\/how they act\/what they look like\/what they sound like. \u00a0This was VERY telling by the way – yikes!<\/p>\n
Kennings<\/a><\/p>\n Tonight students should make their own 16 line (minimum) kenning poem. \u00a0It should be riddle-like, and they may not repeat a word. \u00a0They’ll have to really stretch their thinking and their vocabulary.<\/p>\n For example:<\/p>\n Egg layer <\/p>\n Finally, we talked a bit about our new vocabulary list, especially stressing the parts of speech of each word. \u00a0Tonight students should write a sentence for each of the first four words, and they MUST…BE…USED….CORRECTLY….IN….EACH…..SENTENCE.<\/p>\n no forgiveness for this!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n so, tl;dr<\/p>\n 12 decimal multiplication problems. \u00a0Each should be done using an area model, then the standard algorithm.<\/p>\n DecimalMultiplication<\/a><\/p>\n 1. 46 x 28 5. 4.6 x 28 9. 4.6 x 2.8 Write a kenning poem riddle (minimum 16 lines). \u00a0No word can be re-used<\/p>\n Kennings<\/a><\/p>\n Write a sentence for the first 4 words on our new vocab list. \u00a0Make sure you use them correctly!<\/p>\n As always, read for 35 minutes!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Have a good one,<\/p>\n <\/p>\n -Mr. Potter<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" May the 4th be with you!
