Juicy Nibble

via The Shiny Red Apple by Mrs. Williams-the big "A"pple on 11/8/12

4th grade teachers across Franklin have been working with Dr. Susan Looney, of Looney Consulting, to implement the new changes in the mathematics curriculum according to the Common Core of Standards and Massachusetts Standards. In class, the students have been working on multi digit multiplication using a variety of methods, strategies and algorithms. In the photos, the girls used base ten blocks to show the "area model," method of multiplication.

70*90

40*80

The video shows "window boxes," which is what we worked on today as a preview to the partial products method of multiplication. Click on it if you need help with tonight's homework.

Town Council on Wednesday agreed to enter a power purchase agreement with a Newton green energy firm planning to build a solar farm atop land owned by nuns. Mount St. Mary's Abbey, a monastery of nuns in Wrentham overseen by the Order of Cistercians of the Strict Observance, has the deed to the 11-acre parcel in Franklin that will hold the farm.
