Whole Group Math:

Multiplication chart madness!  WE will be looking at patterns and number associations in our multiplication charts! 

https://learnzillion.com/lessons/1529-identify-patterns-on-a-multiplication-chart

Factor

more ...

Factors are numbers you can multiply together to get another number: Example: 2 and 3 are factors of 6, because 2 × 3 = 6. A number can have MANY factors! Example: What are the factors of 12? 3 and 4 are factors of 12, because 3 × 4 = 12. Also 2 × 6 = 12 so 2 and 6 are also factors of 12. And 1 × 12 = 12 so 1 and 12 are factors of 12 as well. So 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 and 12 are all factors of 12 And -1, -2, -3, -4, -6 and -12 also, because multiplying negatives makes a positive.

The Writing Process in Progress

We are working on going through the steps of the writing process. Today we focused on the brainstorming process, although we discussed each step. 

Brainstorming

Pre-writing (outlines)

Rough draft

Revising & Editing

Publishing 

Here's our brainstorming:
