Math Competition – Continental Math League - All CML experiences are designed to both maximize student opportunities to participate and to improve their problem solving capabilities. Longfellow students will be participating with other students on the same grade level from schools all over the United States. Please see the CML website for additional information. http://www.continentalmathematicsleague.com/cml.htmlComputation – All operation timed tests and ken ken puzzles are given every Friday. Students have until the end of the trimester to meet the benchmark of 95% correct in 5 minutes. Exceeding the benchmark is 95% in 3 minutes.
Final Standings:
First Place –Monica B., Ethan N.
Second Place – Maximus., Daniel B.,
Competition Dates - November 1st, December 6th, January 10th, February 7th, and March 14th.

Final Standings:
First Place – Sam W, Austin B
Second Place – Joey P
Third Place – Ethan F.
Competition Dates - November 1st, December 6th, January 10th, February 7th, and March 14th.
Common Core Standards:
- CCSS.Math.Content.4.OA.A.1 Interpret a multiplication equation as a comparison, e.g., interpret 35 = 5 × 7 as a statement that 35 is 5 times as many as 7 and 7 times as many as 5. Represent verbal statements of multiplicative comparisons as multiplication equations.
- CCSS.Math.Content.4.OA.A.2 Multiply or divide to solve word problems involving multiplicative comparison, e.g., by using drawings and equations with a symbol for the unknown number to represent the problem, distinguishing multiplicative comparison from additive comparison.1
- CCSS.Math.Content.4.OA.A.3 Solve multistep word problems posed with whole numbers and having whole-number answers using the four operations, including problems in which remainders must be interpreted. Represent these problems using equations with a letter standing for the unknown quantity. Assess the reasonableness of answers using mental computation and estimation strategies including rounding.
Grade 4 – ENRICHMENT READING
Unit of Study: Readers Theater - The Phantom Tollbooth
Milo, who is always bored, receives a car and a tollbooth as a gift. Driving beyond the tollbooth, he enters a fantasy world where the names of people and places are clues to their characteristics. Befriended by the Watchdog Tock and the Humbug, Milo meets Azaz, King of Dictionopolis, who laments the loss of the princesses Rhyme and Reason, now imprisoned by the Mathemagican. Azaz eagerly accepts the Humbug's suggestion that Milo rescue the princesses, and Milo, Tock, and the Humbug set out on their quest.
No homework - MAP testing
Grade 3 – ENRICHMENT MATH

CCSS.Math.Content.4.MD.C.5 Recognize angles as geometric shapes that are formed wherever two rays share a common endpoint, and understand concepts of angle measurement:
- CCSS.Math.Content.4.MD.C.5a An angle is measured with reference to a circle with its center at the common endpoint of the rays, by considering the fraction of the circular arc between the points where the two rays intersect the circle. An angle that turns through 1/360 of a circle is called a “one-degree angle,” and can be used to measure angles.
- CCSS.Math.Content.4.MD.C.5b An angle that turns through n one-degree angles is said to have an angle measure of n degrees.
- CCSS.Math.Content.4.MD.C.6 Measure angles in whole-number degrees using a protractor. Sketch angles of specified measure.
- CCSS.Math.Content.4.MD.C.7 Recognize angle measure as additive. When an angle is decomposed into non-overlapping parts, the angle measure of the whole is the sum of the angle measures of the parts. Solve addition and subtraction problems to find unknown angles on a diagram in real world and mathematical problems, e.g., by using an equation with a symbol for the unknown angle measure.
Continental Math League – During Math Enrichment we will also be participating in the CML competition.
