Next Weeks Learning Targets

Math-  We will be looking at place value again next week.  This will hopefully help us to move onto to multiplication the following week using partial quotients.

5.NBT.2 
Explain patterns in the number of zeros of the product when multiplying a number by powers of 10, and explain patterns in the placement of the decimal point when a decimal is multiplied or divided by a power of 10. Use whole-number exponents to denote powers of 10.
