Estimation & Symbiotic Relationships

Math:

We learned about estimation today. Here is the Estimation Presentation to view if you missed today's lesson. Students practiced Front-End Estimation and Relative Size Estimation (Rounding) and played Plickers, a multiple choice game where students answers are scanned into a computer program, to determine how well they understood these concepts after the lesson.

With the help of a student, the classroom has a new games centre for students who finish early. Students are welcome to play these games when they finish early and are also welcome to bring additional math and science games to contribute to this area.

Question of the day: Which method of estimation (front-end or relative size) is more accurate? Explain your answer. Is there any reason we might use both methods in math class?


Science:

Students continued to work on a Symbiotic Relationships inquiry assessment to ensure understanding of Mutualism, Commensalism, and Parasitism

Question of the day: Which type of symbiotic relationship is shown in this image? Who benefits (gets something out of the relationship) and what do they get?
