However, it is not expected to be mastered until the end of the third trimester. We will begin writing an expository paper.

Math will consist of division with double digit divisors, estimating and figuring out where to put the first digit in a long division problem, and interpreting our remainders.

Ms. MartinThis is my 13th year teaching in Billings Public Schools. I was born and raised in Billings and attended Billings Public Schools! I love spending time with my family. My daughter graduated from U of M and I love to go and visit her and watch the Grizzly football games. Sorry Cat fans! My son graduated from Billings Public High School and is playing golf for MSU-Billings. If I am not with my family, you can usually find me walking my golden retrievers Lola and Winston.
