Math:
The Week of Inspirational Math continues. Today we did the Visual Patterns lesson (Day 2: Visualizing Numbers Made of Dots). Students looked a the visual representations of numbers in great detail. They numbered each picture and then found similarities and differences between different number representations.I really enjoyed the creative ways students identified patterns and shared their diverse ideas with the class!!!
Homework:
What would the 36th and 37th dot pattern look like?
Science:
The early part of the year is focussed on reviewing and learning new Science skills.We began by defining Observations (Quantitative & Qualitative) and Inferences and we practiced making observations and inferences. See the attached presentation for more information.
Tomorrow we will continue observing the "Mystery Footprints" pictures (in the attached presentation) and making inferences. We will also try Plickers, a fun quiz game, to review the terms and concepts and there will be an assessment of how well students understood these concepts.
Homework:
- Review the four terms in orange above
- Practice making observations (I see ..., I hear ..., I taste ..., I smell ..., I feel ... ***Have to be true / a facts) and inferences (educated guess based on your observations - has to make sense, but can be creative)
