We are learning how to round in math. Rounding makes a number more simple when knowing the exact number isn't important. We use rounding in day to day life. Ask your child for an example of when you would use rounding? (Think of examples like; distance, time, money) We are starting by rounding to the nearest ten and will also be learning to round to the nearest hundred and thousand. Rounding makes numbers easier to use. What words do we use when we are rounding? Ask your child to round a few numbers to the tens place for you and ask them what the rounding rule is. 

Tomorrow is our important Remembrance Day assembly. The assembly will start at 10:30 am. If your child goes to Girl Guides, Brownies or Beavers, they can come dressed in their outfit for the day. Otherwise, please dress in red or black if possible. Our classroom collective poppy art will be on display at the assembly.

Dear Threehouse: Over the next three weeks, your child will be learning about fractions. Your child will focus on using fractions to name equal parts of a whole, modelling fractions, comparing, and writing about fractions. They will use fraction words such as halves, thirds, fourths, fifths, and sixths. They will use numbers such as , and, and learn that the top number is called the numerator, and the bottom number is called the denominator. To reinforce the concepts your child is learning at school, you and your child can work on some at-home activities such as these: • Have your child look for pictures of objects in magazines that are divided into equal parts and then name each part using fractions. • Have your child identify objects in your home that can be named using fractions of a whole, such as an ice cube tray, a divided dish, a tackle box, or any other object divided into equal parts. Coloured building blocks that are identical in size and joined together to make one shape can...

Dear Threehouse! O ver the next two weeks, your child will be learning how to create and solve division problems that involve either equal sharing or equal grouping. Your child will use various strategies, such as multiplication, repeated subtraction, and a number line, to solve division problems. To reinforce the concepts your child is learning at school, you and your child can work on some at-home activities such as these: • Use any type of food such as baked goodies or pizza to have your child figure out how to equally share pieces among a certain number of people. • Have your child determine how many pieces to create from a pan of brownies or cake to feed the family the same serving size, such as 2 or 3 pieces. • With your child, practise using common objects or situations at home to show both equal sharing and equal grouping. For example, “How can we share 12 comic books among 4 people” (equal sharing) or “If each person receives 3 comic books and there are 12 books, how many peop...
