Science
Everyone worked so well constructing their insulating devices. How did your device perform? By how much did the temperature of the water drop? Tomorrow you will be given time to finish your results and conclusions.

Literacy
Don't forget to read your book on States of Matter. Focus on the non-fiction text features.

Math
We will finish the Action Task tomorrow. I can't believe how much faster most students completed the 100 multiplication questions. Keep practicing your facts!

We talked about division today. When you solve a problem, it is important to write the meaning of the numbers in the math sentence. For example:
Nathan has 72 hockey cards. He has 8 times as many cards as Jameson. How many cards does Jameson have?

First ask yourself, does Jameson have more or less cards than Jameson. If Nathan has 8 times as many, than he has more cards. So your answer must be smaller than 72. Multiplying gives a LARGER answer. You must divide even though the "8 times as much" sounds like multiplying.

72 hockey cards ÷ 8 = 9 hockey cards

Similarly...

Vanessa has 56  photographs. She wants to put 8 photos on each page. How many pages does she need? (grouping problem)

56 photographs ÷ 8 photos on each page = 7 pages

Elliott has 36 photographs and 9 pages in her scrapbook. She wants to put the same number of photos on each page. How many photos should she put on each page? (sharing problem)

36 photographs ÷ 9 pages = 4 photos on each page

Reminders:

  • Please remit permission forms for "Discovery Centre" trip (free) and "Anne of Green Gables" performance ($6.00) as soon as possible.

Here's a famous scene from the movie....
