Mathematics
I can find and explain patterns on the multiplication chart and in skip counting.
Look: chart patterns
- Times-5 products end in 0 or 5.
- Times-9 products up to 90 have digits that add to 9: 9 × 4 = 36, and 3 + 6 is 9.
- The square numbers sit on the diagonal: 1, 4, 9, 16, 25 and more.
Color the times-5 row and the times-9 row on your chart. Then answer.
- 1.
Skip count by 4 to 40.
- 2.
On an addition table, 2 + 8, 3 + 7, 4 + 6 and 5 + 5 all make the same sum. What is it, and why?
- 3.
Is 45 on the times-5 row? How do you know?
Use patterns to answer.
- 4.
Skip count by 8. What is the 6th number? What fact does it show?
- 5.
9 × 7 is 63. What do the digits of 63 add to?
- 6.
What square number comes after 25 on the diagonal?
Challenge: Skip count by 7s to 70. Which of those numbers are even?

English Language Arts
I can compare the characters, plots and lessons of two fables.
Look: Compare and contrast
- Compare: find what is the same. Contrast: find what is different.
- Look at the characters, the problem, how it is solved and the lesson.
- Put shared things in the middle of the Venn diagram and the rest in each fable's own circle.
Two Fables
The Goat and the Rabbit: On a hot day, a goat shared her shady rock with a tired rabbit. Later, a fox crept toward the sleeping goat. The rabbit thumped the ground hard, and the goat woke up and ran to safety. Lesson: A good deed comes back to you. The Bear and the Bee: A bear lifted a drowning bee out of a puddle. Weeks later, a wolf snuck up on the bear. The bee buzzed into the wolf's ear until it ran away. Lesson: Even a small friend can be a big help.
Fill in the Venn diagram, then answer.
| Only Goat and Rabbit | Both | Only Bear and Bee |
|---|---|---|
- 1.
Write one way the two fables are alike.
- 2.
Write one way they are different.
- 3.
Write the lesson both fables share in a full sentence.
- 4.
Do you agree with the lesson? Answer with 'I agree because...' or 'I see it differently because...'
Add -ful or -less to fit the sentence.
