The Archimedes House is finishing up a quick unit on using place value to multiply. This is a unit that we pre-tested and found 2 students who did not need it. As we got into the unit, we found that primarily, students didn't know the vocabulary used in the unit. We quickly addressed that and are post-testing next Tuesday. As the rest of the house has practiced multiplying by 10s and 100s, the two who already knew this information did work on planning on a trip from Chicago to Denver in a covered wagon! Our next unit will be "Architect Arithmetic" to solve problems used in building. Students will be building replicas (I use that term loosely) of famous building around the world.
