Your child's mid-module assessment is in the Thursday envelope that's coming home today. This assessment covered place value, writing numbers in different forms (standard form, word form, and expanded form), and rounding. Next week we will take the end-of-module assessment. That will cover the same material plus addition and subtraction.
Since the beginning of the school year, I have been urging students to make sure they're answering what the question asks them to do. (For example, if the problem asks for ordering the numbers from greatest to least, don't put the numbers in order from least to greatest.) It's a gradual process, but students are already doing better with reading and following the instructions on their exit tickets and assessments.
Our next module will cover metric units, so we'll still be using the "ten times as many" concept that we introduced in Module 1.
