-Students will understand a lever is a bar that rests on a fulcrum to lift or move objects
-Students will understand a fulcrum is the point on which a lever turns or pivots
-Students will find examples of wedges and levers in everyday life
-Rename ones and 10's to add within 1,000 and solve word problems
-Add more than 2 numbers and solve word problems
-Subtract ones or tens from a three digit number
(Renaming is when there are 10 or more ones in the ones place and you have to rename the 10 ones to be one ten)
Example Problem for "math language parent support"
7 + 4
The students need to be able to explain that there will be more than 10 ones when you add 7 + 4
...so you rename the ten ones to be "one 10"
...so you rename the ten ones to be "one 10"
We call it renaming ones to be a ten, & renaming 10 tens to be one hundred...not carrying the one (it is really a ten not a one, so this is an important way to speak about the numbers so the scholar can understand what is happening in the equation.)

| Skill to catch up: Your child needs to be able to mentally make ten Ask them 1 and ___ make ten? They should be able to say 1 and 9, 2 and 8, 3 and 7, 4 and 6, 5 and 5, 10 and 0. Then backwards... 9 and 1, 8 and 2..etc. This should be automatic. |
