Skills to be covered during Week 9:

Describing Setting and Events in StoriesWhen you read a literary test, you learn about important things that happen to the characters, the problems they face, and solutions they come to. These are the story events. You also find out about the settings, or where and when the events occur.

To get the most of a story, look for details about the story events, including the characters; actions and reactions, as well as their thoughts and feelings. Look for details describing how a setting looks and when and where the story takes place. Paying attention to these details will help you make sense of what happens in the story.

This Week’s Skills: Multi-Step Word Problems

This week we are learning to model multi-step problems.

Example: Monty’s family bought 3 pies and 4 muffins at the bake sale. The pies cost $5 each and the muffins cost $2 each. Write an equation that represents the amount of money Monty’s family spent at the bake sale.

(3 x $5) + (4 x $2) = $23
