Students will be wearing their costumes to school on Monday if they choose. We started a little early and carved pumpkins on Friday. They will certainly add atmosphere to our classroom!
This week in Math we will be learning to extend patterns in tables. Our math text explores making Inuksuit. As part of this weeks homework you can build your own Inukshuk online.
Monday - complete Lesson 2 worksheet in your homework log.
Tuesday - Complete the Nelson Math Focus online student activity. Click here. It is also available in your homework log.
Wednesday - Check out Bill Belsey's website. Play the Inukshuk game 3 times and record your best score in your homework log.
Thursday - Visit pbskids.org to Stop That Creature by naming the rule that runs the machine. It is harder than it looks! Make up and stop your own creature by filling out the table on the Homework Log.
Happy Halloween. Have fun creating your own jackolantern online!
Check out the videos and information about our new Math unit. Today we learned the definition of a pattern and pattern rules.
There are patterns all around us. Take a trip through your house and see what patterns you can find - in the wallpaper, tiles, maybe a design on a shirt or bag.
Our school uses Nelson Math Focus as the primary teaching resource. We will be working from the text and other resources especially our new SmartBoard - an interactive white board. Watch for movies of us in action coming soon.
For homework this week you will watch the video on the Math page - Patterns 1. Finish the Patterns page in your homework log and create your own patterns on the back. Remember the pattern rule!
Numbers and information are all around us. Each day we are logging our running progress both individually and as a group. Working with data is an important part of our math curriculum.
How do we collect data? One way is to set up a poll. Our poll for this week is to see what our favourite Thanksgiving activities are. Please vote below!
