Many of the students have included completed the weekly challenges as their goals for this week. Please feel free to provide assistance to your child as he or she works through these challenges. This week's challenge relates to the expectation of adding and subtracting 4-digit numbers. Please allow your child to work through this problem using whatever strategy he or she finds most useful. Some of the strategies we have used in class are: using the traditional algorithm (what we used to call borrowing or carrying), regrouping the numbers, using a number line, using Base-10 blocks.
