Math Test Monday

On Monday students will have a test on addition, subtraction, and multiplication. For addition, students should be able to add up to 4-digit numbers, with and without regrouping (carrying over). For subtraction, students should be able to subtract up to 4-digit numbers with and without regrouping (borrowing). This will include having to borrow from the thousands column to subtract in the ones, for instance: 3000 - 2356 where you would need to borrow from the 3 thousands because there are no ones, tens, or hundreds. Some of the students found this difficult and may need more time practising these. For multiplication, students should be able to multiply single digits, a single digit by a double digit, and a double digit by another double digit. Students should be able to work on solving problems involving multiplication, addition, and subtraction, and be able to tell which of these they are being asked to do in the problem. A sample problem may be: There are 2 mountains. Mount Moriah is 1263km tall, Mount Mustaine is 978km tall. How much taller is Mount Moriah?

Please review these concepts with students over the next 4 days to help them prepare for the test.
