Day 4 no Smart Board.......

Math

On Friday we reviewed comparing and ordering numbers. I think everyone understands how to compare and order numbers, it's just the explaining. For example:

54 109 and 52 957

I know that both numbers are greater than 50 000 so I looked at the thousands place. 54 000 is greater than 52 000 so I know that 54 109 is the greater number.

You can also use a number line:

Being able to explain your reasoning for which number is larger or smaller will help with our next topic on rounding.

Make sure your math test is signed.

Science

You were given two very important handouts on Friday. The first handout was a study guide to your tests. 

For test #1 the definitions will be match up. The word on one side and the definition on the other.

For test #2 the definitions will be part of communication. For example, what are some different ways that habitats change naturally? How do humans change habitats? Give an example of a depleted or extinct species. Why did it become extinct or is depleted?

The second Science handout was about your project. Start thinking about your new animal.

Decide the following to make sure your animal is suitable for its habitat:

• Type of consumer
• Food
• Adaptations
• Habitat

Different habitats in the world:
