Math:
Study multiplication facts each night.
Continue Geometry standards: G1 - Understand that shapes in different categories
may share attributes, and that the shared attributes can define a larger category. Recognize
rhombuses, rectangles, and squares as examples of quadrilaterals, and draw examples
of quadrilaterals that do not belong to any of the subcategories. G2 - Partition shapes
into parts with equal areas. Express the area of each part as a unit fraction of the whole.
Measurement Standards: MD5 - Recognize area as an attribute of plane figures and
understand concepts of area measurement. a. a square with side length 1 unit, called
"a unit square" is said to have "one square unit" of area, and can be used to measure area.
b. a plane figure which can be covered without gaps or overlaps by N unit squares is said
to have an area of N square units. MD6 - Measure areas by counting unit squares
(cm, m, in, ft, and units)
