__**Area and Perimeter Review**__  __**[|Area and Perimeter ScoopIt!]**__    __**Skills We're Working On**__ __Fractions- __ __ Arrays -__ We will be using arrays to help model multiplication problems. An array can be defined as a rectangular shape the has equal rows and equal columns. Arrays are labeled with dimensions. The dimensions end up to be the factors of the total number in an array. Here is an example;
 * []

This is a 2 by 2 array. It has a total of 4 squares inside of it. Therefore it represents the multiplication equation 2 X 2 = 4.

Students will need to be able to describe, give an example, and identify each property in action. Please use the resources to below to help your child learn more about the properties at home. <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">Here is a Powerpoint that introduces each property that we used in class. I converted it to a PDF for better viewing capabilities. <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;"> <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">media type="custom" key="10904242"

Like mutiplication facts, for example. They tend to find the games with the least amount of skill practice possible.
