Today we talked about unit rates. We can think of unit rates in terms of multiplication or division. For example:
Carter read 9 pages of his book each evening. If he read for 6 evenings, how many pages would he read?
9 pages each evening X 6 evenings = 54 pages
Ava bought 7 identical t-shirts at the store. She spent $42. What was the cost of each t-shirt?
$42 ÷ 7 t-shirts - $6 each t-shirt
The grade 5 lesson was similar, just involved more calculations.
Science
Yesterday we talked about the environmental impact of making paper. Do you remember some of the ideas you wrote in your book?
Reminders:
- Tomorrow is our trip to the Discovery Centre. Please make sure to dress appropriately for walking. If it's raining, bring an umbrella, rubber boots and a rain jacket. We will be taking our indoor shoes along and a snack. We will be there for most of the morning.
- Complete your Mathletics assignments and study your multiplication facts.
- Jersey day tomorrow in honour of the Humboldt Broncos Junior A hockey team.
