Fractions! We've learned about halves, thirds, fourths, sixths, and eighths. We've encountered other fractions as well, but these were our main focus. We also began to understand that fractions can be equivalent and cover the same area as another fraction.
We explored various ways to use and view fractions as well as experimented with comparing, adding and subtracting basic fractions to make or take away from the whole. All these computations involved same denominators:

Area and Perimeter
Area: the space inside a shape
Perimeter: the distance around the shape

Geometry - polygons, Classify and sort two- and three-dimensional figures, including cones, cylinders, spheres, triangular and rectangular prisms, and cubes, based on attributes using formal geometric language, use attributes to recognize rhombuses, parallelograms, trapezoids, rectangles, and squares as examples of quadrilaterals and draw examples of quadrilaterals that do not belong to any of these subcategories.
As we move forward, multiplication may seem challenging and frustrating for student. If so, this video gives a mini-lesson for reading and setting up arrays, repeated addition, and multiplication sentences. The video may be helpful with explaining or reviewing.

Parents: I strongly suggest reviewing how to solve two digit by two digit addition and subtraction facts with your children. Especially practice problems when you need to solve to regroup: 54-38
Video for regrouping with addition: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ayFAh4VNMFA
What to do when your child says "I don't get it"
• Draw it out
• Look for a pattern
• Reread the problem
• Underline or highlight important words
• Tell the problem in your own words
• Use objects to act it out
• Work backwards
• Chart it out
• Guess and check
