Memorizing?!
After our decimal warm up we picked up where our notes left of yesterday and moved steadily into the land of exponents. The kids received a sheet today of exponents that I will expect them to have memorized by sometime next week! Ah! No worries, because I promised I would help them. In fact, their homework tonight is to start thinking of strategies that will help them memorize these powers...
