With Remembrance Day quickly approaching, Royal Oak School would like to support our Veterans by collecting non-perishable food items. These items will be collected all week (November 1-7) and will be picked up and delivered to the Calgary Food Bank. There are specific items that are more needed than others and the Calgary Food Bank has outlined these as wish list items that are greatly appreciated.
Reminder:
Book orders came home today. Please submit your order by Friday November 15th 2019 at the latest.
Graphing Practice
We have been practicing collecting data for a graph by using tally marks and survey questions.
We have then practiced putting this information into a chart so that it is organized and easier to understand.
We can then use this data to create a bar graph. It is very important when we are making a graph that we give our graph a title and label the x and y axis so that other people can interpret our graph.
Once our graph is built we are then able to interpret the data, ask questions about the data, and share our information with others.
Triangle Math
Today we continued practicing the strategy of triangle math (number bond adding)
First we break the numbers into groups of 10s and 1s.
Then we put the numbers back together, combining all of the groups of 10 first and not foregetting the ones!
We look for friendly numbers that will make new tens when we are combining the 1's.
We then applied this new strategy to a word problem we have been working on so that we can check our accuracy of our first solutions by using another strategy.
Next week we will be practicing the Number Line as another strategy for double-digit addition.
Once we have a repetoire of strategies to pick from we can choose the one that works best for us and be more flexible thinkers in math!
Jobs of the Past
Today we continued learning about some important jobs of the past:
We had to read about the duties of particular jobs of Calgary's past. We also learned about tools the job might have required.
After reading, discussing and making think notes, we then had to draw, label and make notes in our visual sketchbooks
about what we had learned. We had to make sure to include all of the important details in order to present
our findings to the class.
