    Mathematics

    I can subtract with more than one regrouping, including across zeros.

    Look: 400 − 126

    1. There are no tens or ones. Trade 1 hundred for 10 tens, then 1 ten for 10 ones.
    2. Now 400 is 3 hundreds, 9 tens and 10 ones.
    3. Ones: 10 − 6 = 4. Tens: 9 − 2 = 7. Hundreds: 3 − 1 = 2. The difference is 274.

    Subtract. Check each answer by adding.

    I can compare the lessons and events of two fables and talk about them with a partner.

    Two Short Fables

    The Mouse and the Owlet: A baby owl fell from its nest. A mouse pulled leaves over it to hide it from a hawk until its mother came back. Later, a cat trapped the mouse, and the mother owl swooped down and chased the cat away. The Bee and the Bear Cub: A bee was caught in a spider web. A bear cub gently pulled the web apart and let the bee go. Weeks later, the cub could not find food. The bee led him to a bush heavy with berries.

    Fill in the chart, then answer.

    I can use a map scale and a ruler to find real distances.

    Look: scale is 1 inch = 5 miles

    1. Put the ruler's 0 on the first place.
    2. Read the inches to the second place.
    3. Count by 5s for each inch: 3 inches is 5, 10, 15 miles.

    The scale is 1 inch = 5 miles. Find the real distance.
