Dear Family,

Today my class started the Multiply Whole Numbers chapter. I will learn how
to factor numbers, as well as how to use exponents. I will also explore the
Distributive Property, multiplication patterns, and I will multiply by one- and
two- digit numbers. Below are my vocabulary words for the chapter.
Love,
p.s. Look on the back of this letter to find activities we can do at home or in
the car. There is also a list of books for us to read.

exponent
base

an exponent
34 = 3 3 3 3 = 81
81 is a power of 3

Distributive Property of Multiplication: To multiply a sum by a number, multiply

each addend by the number, and add the
products.
4 (2 + 7) = (4 2) + (4 7)

cubed: a number raised to the third power.

33 = 3 3 3 = 27

squared: A number raised to the second power.

252 = 25 25 = 625

At Home Activity

Materials: articles of clothing, shoes, boo

ks, sports equipment, etc.

Pretend that you are the owner

of a store. Find items around
your house that you could sell and
label them with a price tag.
Examples of price tags could be $5,
$10, $15, etc.
Select one of your items. If you we
re to sell five of these, what
would be the total cost?
Select a different item. If you we
re to sell ten of these, what
would be the total cost?
