Saturday update

Remember to study for your Math test this weekend and complete your interview and venn diagram for Monday.

As I mentioned in class several times, IXL (http://ca.ixl.com/math/grade-6 ) and the Math Focus 6 website are the best two links for this unit as most sites do not model multiplication and division like you have been learning it in class. The youtube video below does model multiplication with base ten blocks.
Please review your worksheet as well, it is important! Remember the difference between hundredths and thousandths.
