Math T-Shirt Factory Addition, Arctic Animals and Land, Iqaluit Explorations and The Water Cycle!!

Math T-Shirt Factory

Today we continued working on a problem to do with our T-Shirt Factory. Our Factory had to figure out this question:

We drew a T-Chart in our math books to organize these numbers and an equation to show what kind of problem we were working on?

Today we had to put our final TOTAL into a new t-chart and show the Total Boxes, Rolls and Loose that we had all together for our T-shirt Order. 

Some of us got to come up to the board to explain our Math Thinking. We talked about the importance of showing our math thinking on paper in pictures, words, charts, diagrams etc. 

If you show your work you will get more marks even with the wrong answer then if you have the right answer and cannot explain it or show how you know? 


We will be working on showing our math thinking all week while we do T-shirt Factory Challenges!

Iqaluit


We watched a video of two people who travelled to Iqaluit, Nunavut. We talked about what we noticed about the landscape (tundra, permafrost, ocean, sea ice) and the houses, the school, the people and the differences and similarities to our City of Calgary, Alberta.

Arctic Animals

We also talked about animals that live in the Arctic. We brainstormed some that we knew and looked at some pictures of others we had never heard of such as the lemming, ermine and ptarmigan!

We will be starting some animal research on Google Slides next week and have our choice of researching in detail the Polar Bear or Seals. Ask me which one I am most interested in?


Science

We have been talking about the states of matter (specifically water): Solid, Liquid and Gas. Today we looked at The Water Cycle song and talked about the process water takes as it moves through our Earth. Watch the song at home and practise singing it. The song helps us to remember the important parts of the cycle.

We also talked about Properties of Liquids:

We poured water into some different containers to see what would happen. Ask me what I noticed?
