Off to a good start!

Well, we have already finished two days of our summer program and I think it is off to a good start! It is fun to meet new students, and I am excited that everyone is awake and anxious to be there. Today in math class we talked about place value and created number charts from the millions to the hundred-thousandths. When might we use a number that is in the hundred-thousandths?

We also reviewed rounding rules. Remember:

"5 and above, give it a shove; 4 and below, let it go!"

How do you use rounding in your life? When does it come in handy?

I am looking forward to getting to know all of you better. We have a lot planned for the next four weeks. Keep up the good work! Feel free to leave a comment and let me know what you like or don't like so far...see you tomorrow!
