Grade 4: Today we discussed the differences in education between Ancient Rome and Judea. In Judea, education was very faith-based. It centered around knowing and understanding the teachings in the Torah. In Ancient Rome it was more knowledge based. Did you go to school if you were a Jewish girl? How about a girl in Ancient Rome? Only if you were.... RICH!

Grade fives please make sure you complete your mind maps..... remember to be CREATIVE!

Math
Data Test tomorrow. Please review your notebook and make corrections. Neatness (printing and colouring) are important when displaying information.

A more review questions for grade 5:

Check past posts for other review questions.

Remember to include on graphs:
1. Title (reflects subject of data)
2. Labels for horizontal and vertical axes
3.Choose a scale that makes your graph large and easy to read
4. To find an appropriate scale, use the range and the number of divisions on your graph paper

Genius Hour
Last day to complete project tomorrow. Good work today. About 5 students are finished.

Reminders:

• Dancefest Tuesday, June 5th @ 10:30. Wear black. If any parents would like to volunteer to help tape lightning bolts onto to black t-shirts, let me know!
• Family BBQ Wednesday, June 6th
• PD Day Friday, June 8th
• Class trip to Ontario Science Centre Tuesday, June 19th 
• Return clean green Nighthawk shirt

Social Studies
Today the grade fours read some interesting information about the roles of the family members in Ancient Rome and Judea. Both societies were PATRIARCHAL. Do you remember what that means? I bet most of the girls do! All the major decisions and everything and EVERYONE was property of the father or oldest male. If the father had to pay a debt, he could sell his children into slavery! Tomorrow you will be given time to work on your mind map, showing the roles and responsibilities of the family members in either Ancient Rome or Judea, and in your own family.

We also touched on rights and societies of children in the world today. Here is a link to the rights of all children. I think I will print this out for you.

Grade fives will be given time to finish their comparison chart of the Wendat and Innu. We will also begin talking about spirituality in First Nations communities. Your mind map is due Friday.

Math
Circle or pie graphs were the topic today. It is part of the grade five curriculum, but the fraction part is part of the curriculum for both grades. When we read circle graphs, we need to know how many equal parts the circle is divided into before we can make conclusions. We also need to know the number of people surveyed.

Grade 5:

Here's an interesting question about mean:

Both grades:

Grade 4:

Genius Hour
You will be given a double period tomorrow (Thursday) and half a day on Friday to complete your project. Some students had difficulty with laptops. You are able to access your Google Drive at home or work on your project at recesses or after school.

Health
The game shows are starting to take shape. We'll let a few more groups "rehearse" tomorrow. We'll try to make time to practice again on Friday. Remember: YOUR QUESTIONS MUST BE ABOUT THE LONG AND SHORT TERM EFFECTS OF SMOKING (grade 4) AND ALCOHOL AND FACTORS THAT AFFECT INTOXICATION (grade 5). Although there are many interesting facts about cigarettes and alcohol, I will only be accessing you on these categories.

Reminders:

• Data Management test on Friday. 
• Items for "Book-Lovers" basket. FYI: We have "several" bottles of wine :)
• Some students indicated that they paid for Track and Field online. There was not an option to pay online. Please remit $3.00 ASAP.
• We have a few seats available for the end of the year trip to the Ontario Science Centre. Please let me know if you'd still like to travel with us on the bus!

Track and Field today!

Come prepared ready to compete.

FYI
The metal seats can be quite hot and uncomfortable to sit on at the stadium. You may want to bring something such as a towel to make the seating more comfortable. You could also bring an umbrella to keep out of the sun!

Social Studies
Today in grade four we read about wedding customs in Ancient Rome and Judea. Do you remember any similarities? Differences? Rings... veils... toasts.... flowers....? Ask your parents if they practiced this wedding custom below from Ancient Rome.

Grade 5s are just about finished their mind maps. No more class time will be given. It is due on Friday. Remember it is a mind map. Use the  fewest words as possible to communicate information and include illustrations to add to the visual presentation.

Math
Grade 4 please complete chapter review to ensure you are ready for the test. Complete your Mathletics assignments for practice. Remember Ava's tip for finding the median on a stem and leaf plot. The most common mistake in graphing (all types) is forgetting to include titles and labels on axes. Neatness counts in graphing!

Grade 5 make sure you understand trends in broken line graphs. Complete your homework on broken line graphs and Mathletics assignments.

Health
Last day to complete questions for game show. Each group divided the remaining questions. In most groups, each person had to come up with 2 more questions specific to long or short term effects. Make sure you have your questions prepared for Wednesday. On Wednesday you will be given time to rehearse your game show. You must submit a copy of the questions when you present to the class. See the weekend post for links to sites.

Track and Field
Tomorrow (Tuesday) we are scheduled to participate in the Track and Field meet at TD Waterhouse Stadium (Western University). Please check the radio to make sure the meet has not been cancelled. If I hear anything, I will post it on the blog. The link below will take you to the order of the events for the day if your parents would like to attend or watch you compete.

It sure feels like summer! Stay cool today and drink plenty of fluids.

Math

We will do a bit of review for Data Management this week. We will review broken line graphs and talk a bit about how to find information from a circle graph. We have already studied line graphs in Science and Social Studies so it shouldn't take very long.  Friday would be the best day for a test. 

Grade 4:

• Stem and leaf Plots
• Double bar graphs
• Organizing data into tables
• Range, mode and median
• Making observations / conclusions / comparisons about data

Grade 5

• Double bar graphs
• Broken Line graphs
• Organizing data into tables
• Range, mean, mode, median
• Making observations / conclusions / comparisons about data including circle graphs

It is VERY IMPORTANT that you  COMPLETE YOUR HOMEWORK on  MATHLETICS. It is a good REVIEW for the TEST.

Social Studies

One of our focus this term is informational (non-fiction) writing. The text form we are practicing in Social Studies is comparing and contrasting. We wrote an example in class (comparing the physical features of Ancient Rome and Judea).

We will wrap up our discussion of natural resources in Ancient Rome and Judea on Monday and begin talking about the role of the different family members on Wednesday.

In grade 5 you will be given time to complete your mind map and you will be asked to compare / contrast the Wendat and Innu First Nations communities. 

There will be no test in Social Studies this term. Assessment will be based on assignments. Keep up!

Word Study

Your work study test will be on MONDAY. See post on Wednesday, May 16th for words.

Genius Hour
You will be given 80 minutes on Wednesday and Thursday and half a day on Friday to complete your project. No extra time will be given after this week. You are more than welcome to stay after school this week (except Tuesday). We will be presenting our projects to the class starting on June 4th. At the end of the week (June 7th), your projects will be on display to share with other classes.

Health
Keep thinking about questions for your game show assignment (short and long term effects of smoking for grade 4 and alcohol for grade 5).
https://kidshealth.org/en/teens/smoking.html (great video)
This is one link to a video we watched about alcohol. The others are on the right hand side of the link.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-6g5oy7bRnA

Reminders

• Track and Field on Tuesday, May 29th. Please make sure you take home your green Nighthawks shirt tomorrow to wear on Tuesday. Two students have not submitted permission forms.
• Items for the class basket (Book-Lovers Theme)

Science
The volcanoes were absolutely MAGNIFICENT. Every group worked very hard each group showed great creativity. The grade 1/2 class thoroughly enjoyed your presentation.
What was the substance on the pennies called? Make sure you know!

Math
Today we talked about the MEAN. The mean is the average. It's very similar to sharing. We used blocks to show why the strategy for finding the mean works.
For example, what is the mean of all the discount coupons?

If each block represents $1 and each stack represents a coupon, then the coupons would look like this:

If we shared all the blocks equally, then the stacks would look like this:

So the mean for the discount coupons is $2.

We can also use a pencil and paper method.

Step 1: Add all the numbers to get a total.

Step 2: Count the number of numbers you added.

Step 3: Total ÷ number of numbers = mean

1 + 1 +2 + 2 + 5 + 2 + 2 + 1 + 2 + 2 =$ 20 (Total)

$20 ÷ 10 (numbers) = $2

Here are some reasoning questions for both grade to try:

• Create a set of 5 numbers that has a median of 19
• Create a set of 6 numbers that has a mode of 11 and a median of 8
• Create a set of 3 numbers that has a mode of 6 and a mean of 5

COMPLETE YOUR MATHLETICS ASSIGNMENTS!

Social Studies

Grade 4s completed their discussion of the natural resources in Ancient Rome and Judea. We talked about SOIL, WATER, WOOD, STONE, CLAY AND METALS. One last comparison chart tomorrow.

Both grades will have a few days to work on assignments tomorrow.

Here is the clip on aqueducts:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y8W96WaobOs&t=5s

Genius Hour

First day to start to put together project. Bring what you need. You will the the laptops to use.

Reminders:

• Permission forms for Track and Field
• Last day to bring school supplies for Uganda
• Items for "Book-Lovers" basket
• Off-Uniform day
• Return assessment folders and math notebooks
• Word Test on Monday

Social Studies
In grade four we talked about different farming practices in Ancient Rome and Judea. Why did they plant in the fall and harvest crops in the spring? When do we plant and harvest in our area? I will be reviewing notebooks over the weekend. Make sure you have completed all of your comparison charts neatly. It will be much easier to write your comparison paragraph. Tomorrow we will finish discussing natural resources in Judea and Ancient Rome.

In grade five we discussed how the First Nations communities made decisions. Decisions were made by consensus, everyone had to agree. It is still a practice used today and is often used in elementary schools to resolve conflicts. How do you think talking circles helps consensus decision making? Do you think it would work in a classroom? Share with a parent the practice of smudging. We have completed our content for the week in grade five. The remaining time this week will be spent on completing assignments and questions.

Math

Today we talked about the RANGE, MEDIAN and MODE. What tip did "Median Mike" give to calculate the median when there is an even number of data (numbers)?

Please complete # 4 - 8. If you understand how to do #8, then you really understand median and mode. COMPLETE YOUR MATHLETICS ASSIGNMENTS ON MODE AND MEDIAN.

Health

Keep adding to your questions on the short and long term effects of smoking and alcohol. Don't forget factors that affect intoxication grade 5.

Science

Tomorrow morning we construct our volcano. Make sure you have your materials. 

Live stream of volcanic eruption in Hawaii:

Reminders:

• Genius Hour materials for Friday
• Gym clothes
• Permission forms for Track and Field. 9 students have not submitted their forms.
• School supplies for Uganda
• Items for our class end of the year BBQ basket (book-lover theme)
• Crayons for Art on Friday if you have different (bright) colours at home. No need to buy crayons.

Social Studies
One of the important expectation in both the grade 4 and grade 5 Social Studies units (Early Societies and First Nations People) is comparing and contrasting. Today in grade four we wrote a paragraph comparing the physical features in Ancient Rome and Judea. When we write non-fiction informational texts, we write in clear and concise sentences. We stick to the facts. We wrote about similar features such as mountains and rivers and different physical features such as deserts and salt flats. You will use the writing today as a model in the upcoming weeks to compare and contrast a topic we discuss in class and covered in your textbook.

We also began our discussion on the different natural resources in Ancient Rome and Judea.

We will look at differences in farming and an incredible technology Ancient Romans used to transport water. Do you know the name of the structure below?

In grade 5 we learned about he roles of the different people in a First Nations community. How were First Nations communities organized? How does that differ from your community? Your first assignment will be to construct a mind map showing the responsibilities of the elders, men, women and children.

Math

All groups have surveyed another class. Tomorrow we will set up charts and do a gallery walk to quickly survey our own class. 

Grade fives we talked about bar graphs with intervals. They are very similar to stem and leaf plots except they use intervals instead of stems and bars instead of the numbers. Make sure you complete your homework questions.

Mode and median with both grades tomorrow and mean with grade fives. We should be able to finish the unit this week.

Dance

Our dance is almost complete. We just need to think of a way to end with a BANG!

Health

Your first health assignment is to create a game show to present to the class that shows the short and long term effects of smoking / chewing tobacco (grade 4) and alcohol (grade 5) and the factors that affect alcohol intoxication. You may use a template on Smart Notebook. You are NOT creating a game board but a GAME SHOW. The first step is writing questions and answers related to your topic. You will be given the last period on Thursday to work on it again.

Reminders:

• Material for volcano for Thursday. You must have a Gatorade-like bottle to build the volcano. You can use plastic, paper, a bit of modeling clay, toy dinosaurs and trees, tissue paper etc. Your volcano will only erupt once, so don't worry if the paper is ruined.
• Genius hour materials for Friday. Tasks like painting you can complete at home. But if you are doing a model, you must put it together at school. If you'd like to stay after school, just let me know!
• Mathletics assignments
• Track and Field permission forms and money
• School supplies for Uganda
• Items for a "Book Lovers" basket

A little history about Victoria Day:

Math

Please make sure you complete your Mathletics assignments. We will be having a short quizs on Data Management this week. You will need to construct a stem and leaf plot and double bar graph from secondary data. You will also have to make RELEVANT observations about the data. Grade 5 you will have to do a bar graph with intervals as well. We will learn more about that next week. The last topic in data management is median, mode and mean (mean for grade 5 only). On Tuesday we will finish our survey assignment. Next is area and volume.

Science

Have you figured out what happened in our pennies and vinegar investigation? 

The material for your volcano is due on Thursday. I will bring all the reactants. You just have to construct the volcano. You will have a double period to put it together and then we demonstrate the reaction to the grade 1/2 class. They will be so impressed with your chemistry skills!

Genius Hour

We are wrapping up the research part of our Genius Hour projects. On Friday we will begin organizing our information for our presentation. If you still have some outstanding research to complete, you are more than welcome to stay after school next week. 

We will presenting our projects the first week in June.

Dance

A special thank you to our choreographers. Our dance is just about complete. If you have any ideas for the dance, let me know!

Reminders:

• School supplies for the children of Uganda
• Track and Field permission form and money

Math
A few students need to finish up their math tests from today. Tomorrow your test will be primarily skills.
Grade 5:
LONG DIVISION

• Find the quotient 3-digit dividends / 1-digit divisor with and without remainders using standard algorithm and/or repeated subtraction

Examples:
674 ÷ 8

ESTIMATING PRODUCTS AND QUOTIENTS (High and Low Strategy)
Estimate 569 x 5 
500 x 5 = 2500
600 x 5 = 3000
569 is closer to 600 so the product is closer to 3000. I estimate it to be about 2700

Estimate 695 ÷ 9
Think of your 9 times table.
630 ÷ 9 = 70
720 ÷ 9 = 80
695 is closer to 720 so I estimate the quotient to be 77

MULTIPLICATION
Find the product 3-digit by 1-digit, 2 digit by 2 digit using standard algorithm AND area model.

Area Model: 31 x 24

Add 600 + 120 + 20 + 4 = 744

Standard Algorithm:

WRITING WORD PROBLEMS:

Write a word problem using 729 ÷ 9

Grade 4:

MULTIPLYING BY 10, 100 AND 100 
3 x 800 = 2400

DIVIDING BY 10 AND 100
5600 ÷ 10 = 560

A number is divided by 10. The quotient (answer) is between 30 and 40. What could the number be? Explain how you know.

Another number is divided by 100. The quotient (answer) is between 30 and 40. What could the number be?

ESTIMATING PRODUCTS 2-DIGIT BY 1-DIGIT (HIGH / LOW STRATEGY )
67 x 8 is between 60 x 8 = 480 and 70 x 8 = 560
Since 67 is closer to 70 I estimate it to be about 540

MULTIPLYING 2-DIGIT BY 1 DIGIT (Expanded form or standard algorithm)
5
67
x8
536

67             60 x 8 = 480
x8              7 x 8 =    56
                               536

DIVIDING 2-DIGIT BY 1-DIGIT NUMBER (Repeated subtraction /standard algorithm / splitting strategy)
Splitting:
96 ÷ 6
96 ÷ 6 = 60 ÷ 6 + 36 ÷ 6 = 10 + 6 = 16

Repeated subtraction:

6l96
   60 10 (10 x 6)              10 + 5 + 1 = 16
   36   
   30   5 (5 x 6)
     6
     6    1 (1 x 6)
     0

Standard Algorithm:

WRITING WORD PROBLEMS:

Write a word problem using 98 ÷ 7

I will finish the rest of the post after dinner.

Thank goodness most students found their lost data! We will continue to survey other classes. Remember to have your interesting survey question ready.

Multiplication and Division Test # 1 tomorrow

Grade 4 sample word  problems:
Nathan has 7 nickels and 9 dimes in his pocket. How much money does he have. Use multiplication sentences to find the answer.

You are planting 24 flowers in equal rows. What are all the ways you can plant the flowers? Draw the different arrays. Hint: think of all the numbers that multiply to 24. Do not worry about 24 x 1 or 1 x 24.

Show the meaning of 12 ÷ 3 two different ways.
XXXX            XXXX             XXXX (3 groups of 4)
12 - 3 -3 -3 -3 = 0 (repeated subtraction)

Carter has 25 hockey cards. He is organizing them into equal rows of 7. How many more hockey cards does he need to make 6 rows of 7 cards? Explain using an array.

Erika went to the dog park with her dog. She counted 12 people and dogs (dogs + people = 12) and 34 legs altogether. How many people and dogs were at the park? Hint: Draw a chart and use guess and test.

People	Dogs	Dogs + People	Dog legs	People legs	Total legs
6	6	12	6 x 4 = 24	6 x 2 = 12	24 + 12 = 36

That's too many legs so try another combinations of people and dogs that add to 12.

Grade 5 sample problems:

Mrs. Smiley ordered 621 rulers for the school next year for 9 classrooms. About how many rulers for each class? Think about your 9 times table.  Choose a dividend that divides by 9 evenly and easily. 
9 x 7 = 63 so 630 rulers  ÷ 9 classes = 70 rulers for each class

What is the area of a rectangle with the length of 25 cm and a width of 8 cm?

Genevieve has 108 books. She has 9 times as many as Violet. How many books does Violet have?

Leo has 256 Lego pieces. Will has 3 times as many. How many Lego pieces does Will have?

Write a word problem using 369 x 6

Ava saved enough money to buy 8 volleyballs for $25 each. The price increased to $32. How many can she buy now?

How many $20 books can Jameson buy with $220?

Religion
On Sunday we celebrated the birthday of the Church - Pentecost. On this day the disciples of Christ received the Holy Spirit which gave them the courage to spread the good news of Jesus Christ to people of ALL nations. That's why they could speak in different languages.

Social Studies
In grade four we continued our discussion of the physical features in Ancient Rome and Judea. Tomorrow we will think about advantages and disadvantages of different physical features and look at precipitation maps. Why was the amount of precipitation important to early societies?

In grade five we discussed the ways that the First Nations peoples used the environment. Some First Nations peoples were hunters and gatherers, moving frequently. Others built more permanent shelters and farmed. You will be completing your chart comparing food today and food in the First Nations communities tomorrow.

Once again each grade level worked very respectfully during lessons. VERY IMPRESSIVE!

Health

Today the grade fours began talking about smoking. We touched on the different reasons young people start smoking. Do you remember the four reasons? We also talked about the effects of second hand smoke. Next class we will talk about the different long term and short term effects of smoking. 

The video below shows the short term effects. Skip the ending about getting help to stop smoking.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H1-esHwMe-k

Have you ever wondered what's in a cigarette?

Grade fives will begin discussions on alcohol next Health class.

Science
Today we reviewed our results for exploration from Monday. There were three new products produced in the following reaction:

We also soaked some pennies in vinegar. What happened? What was the new substance formed? The same reaction happened on the Statue of Liberty.

https://buggyandbuddy.com/science-for-kids-make-a-penny-turn-green/

Next week we will build volcanoes in groups. If you do a search on-line, you should be able to get some ideas. Each group must have a Gatorade -like bottle for the centre of the volcano. The design is up to your group. I will bring all the REACTANTS.

Math

We continued completing our stem and leaf plots and double bar graphs using the computer. Unfortunately many students lost their Internet connection and their graphs. We'll see if your laptop will recover your files tomorrow. Cross your fingers.

Please continue to review for the test. You should bring home your MathUP duotang to study. Complete a few pages in your booklet to review long division.

Social Studies

Grade 4

Today we examined the physical features in Ancient Rome and Judea. The features that they have in common are ones that are needed to survive. You will be completing your comparison chart during the grade five lesson. If you did not finish your definitions, questions and artifact, you will have enough time to complete it tomorrow.

Grade 5

You also looked artifacts and how they provide clues about the people and life long ago. 

Thank you to all students who worked quietly during the split lessons. Almost everyone worked well independently and everyone showed excellent self-regulation. 

Reminders:

• Math tests Thursday and Friday on division and multiplication

Science
Today we observed a chemical change. What were the two reactants? What was the new product formed? Make sure you complete "Interpret Your Results" . There are a few conclusions you have to make on page 28.

Tomorrow we will do several more examples of chemical changes. Then we are just about done the unit. Your last assignment will be to build a volcano. Stay tune...

Math
So far in our Data Management unit we have gathered primary data. We have rolled dice and linked paper clips and elastics. Today we gathered statistics on professional athletes and teams. This is secondary data because it came from someone else. Tomorrow we will finish our stem and leaf plots and double bar graphs on the computer. You must include three observations (five was too many) comparing the teams. For example:

Observations:

Both the Raptors and the Celtics had 2 players that scored between 15 and 20 points per game.

Only the Raptors had a player that scored over 20 points a game. 

The Celtics had more players than the Raptors that scored under 5 points a game. 

Make sure you think of a good survey question for tomorrow! 

The class decided on Thursday and Friday for our multiplication and division tests. Please look at the weekend post for the types of questions for the first test. I will post the questions on the second test tomorrow. 

Social Studies

Today we began our last Social Studies units for the year. The grade fours will be studying Early Societies and the grade fives will be studying First Nations People. There is no test for these units. You will have small assignments every other day and a research / project at the end (after we finish our Genius Hour Projects of course).

Reminders:

• Please be prepared to practice for Track and Field daily (gym clothes and running shoes at school).
• Bring indoor shoes!

Science
On Friday we talked about CHEMICAL changes. What are some signs of a chemical change?
explosion
light
heat
new substance
gas
colour change
combustion (burning)

Chemical changes are irreversible. You cannot get the original material back.

Examples of Chemical Changes

• Burning wood
• Souring milk
• Mixing acid and base
• Digesting food
• Cooking an egg
• Heating sugar to form carame.
• Baking a cake
• Rusting of iron

On Monday we will be observing a chemical change involving the reaction of baking soda and vinegar.

We also touched on THE LAW OF CONSERVATION OF MASS.

Be prepared to complete your investigation Monday morning.

Grade 4 Test #1

DIFFERENT MEANINGS OF MULTIPLICATION: Example 7 x 3 = 21

Equal Groups:

Repeated Addition:

7 + 7 + 7 = 21            or         3 + 3 +  3 +3 + 3 + 3 + 3 = 21

Skip Counting:

7, 14, 21

3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21

Array:

XXXXXXX            XXX

XXXXXXX            XXX

XXXXXXX            XXX
                                XXX

                                XXX
                                XXX

                                XXX

Word Problem:

Mr. Morson bought 3 packages of gum. Each package had 7 sticks of gum. How many sticks of gum did he buy?

FAMILY OF FACTS: Example 3, 7, 21

3 x 7 = 21

7 x 3 = 21

21÷ 3 = 7

21÷ 7 = 3

RELATING MULTIPLICATION AND DIVISION FACTS:

Example: How can you use 6 x 4 = 24 to find 6 x 8?

6 x 4 is 4 groups of 6, so 8 groups of 6 is double 4 groups of 6

6 x 8 = 24 + 24 = 48

Example: How can you use 36 ÷ 6 = 6 to find 36 ÷ 3?

36 ÷ 6 is dividing 36 into 6 equal groups, 36 ÷ 3 is dividing 36 into 3 equal groups so there should be twice as many in each group.

36 ÷ 3 = 6 + 6 = 12

SOLVING PROBLEMS:

·         There are 27 students. There are 3 students in each group. How many groups are there altogether?

·         There are 6 eggs in 1 carton. How many eggs are in 3 cartons?

·         Chad bought 2 books at a yard sale. His brother, Sam, bought 3 times as many books. How many books did Sam buy?

·        Colin has 24 markers. Andrea has 6 markers. How many times as many markers does Colin have than Andrea?

·        Micha also earns $7 a week doing chores. She earned $63 altogether doing chores. For how many weeks did she do chores?

·        Create a division word problem using 63, 9

·        Create a multiplication word problem using 6, 7

 Grade 5 Test #1

RELATING MULTIPLICATION AND DIVISION FACTS:

Example: How can you use 6 x 40 = 240 to find 6 x 80?

6 x 40 is 40 groups of 6, so 80 groups of 6 is double 40 groups of 6

6 x 80 = 240 + 240 = 480

Example: How can you use 360 ÷ 6 = 60 to find 360 ÷ 3?

360 ÷ 6 is dividing 360 into 6 equal groups, 360 ÷ 3 is dividing 360 into 3 equal groups so there should be twice as many in each group.

360 ÷ 3 = 60 + 60 = 120

2 DIGIT / 3-DIGIT BY 1-DIGIT MULTIPLICATION:

Example: 543 x 6 (Expanded form and algorithm)

Example: 67 x 8

SOLVING MULTIPLICATION PROBLEMS:

Ava bought 5 boxes of 62 pens and Luca bought 6 boxes of 53 pens. Who bought more pens? How many more?

Create a word problem using 512 x 9

Use 17 x 9 to finish each word problem

A rectangle has….

Each soccer team has ….

ESTIMATING PRODUCTS AND QUOTIENTS:

There are 72 pens in a box. About how many pens in 8 boxes?
There are 351 erasers for 6 classes. About how many erasers are there for each class?
