Math Homework: Thurs. Nov. 30th to Thurs. Dec. 7th

My apologies for not posting yesterday, as mentioned in students' agenda.

Did you tell your Mom/Dad about our classroom challenge? Tell them what we need to do in class if we are going to bake in class next Friday, Dec. 8th. Of course, the baking will all be based on following steps for a successful recipe using correct measurements! Should be delicious! 

For homework, keep doing Math 3 or 4 times a week for about 20 minutes. Here are your options:

1. Teach, Mom, Dad or an older sibling to play the new Math game we learned in class. Remember to teach the strategies of combining cards to make it easier to add (like a King -worth 13- and a 7 add up to 20). 

2. Review and complete these problems worked on in class: 

#1 Gr 2 level problem: How long would it take you to walk 100 metres? Explain your thinking.

#2 Gr 3 level problem: Draw a triangle in your notebook that has a perimeter of about 20 centimetres. How long could each side be? If you forgot, perimeter is all the sides of a shape added together. 

#3 Gr 4 level problem: A person is about 135 cm tall. About how old is that person likely to be?

Good luck! 

Friday Math Homework Review

Well done to these students who handed in their Math homework sheet today: Sophie, Kayleigh, Mikayla, Alyssa, Madeleine, Lukas and Brooklyn. You can still hand it in on Monday.
We solved, reviewed and looked at possible answers together for all 4 problems today. We made a game out of it! Lots of learning happening. Enjoy the weekend! M.K.

Reviewing what it takes to be successful in Math (applies to other areas as well), students remembered that:

                  1. Everyone can learn Math to high levels (B.Mc)
                  2. Mistakes are important for learning (A.B.)
                  3. Believe in yourself, have grit, a growth mindset and keep trying (A.D.)
                  4. Speed is not important (M.S.)

UPDATED Nov 15th: Math Homework: Nov.14th to Nov. 17th

**Wednesday note: Well done Sophie, first person to complete the three problems and hand in their work today! Now, try gr 4 problem added today! :-)

Remember to do homework 2 or 3 nights a week for 15 to 20 minutes. Many of you have been doing more, that is great! Well done.

This week, try and solve the following 3 problems. Write your answers on a separate sheet. Try and put in all good information and illustrations that will help you get a level 4. Have fun with it, try and write what you think the answers might be. Then, ask your Mom or Dad to check it over with you.

This problem is a grade 1 level problem: You skip count by a number and you eventually say the number 20. What might you have been counting by? What were you not counting by? How do you know?

This problem is a grade 2 level problem: You have two piles of counters. Altogether you have just a few more than 12 counters. How many counters might there be in each pile?

This problem is a grade 3 level problem: You subtract two three digit numbers, and the number of tens in the answer is greater than the number of hundreds. What numbers might you have subtracted?

This problem is a grade 4 level problem: Create a growing pattern that involves multiplying by 2 and includes the number 80. Can your pattern include the number 2?

If you complete all 4 problems and want a tougher challenge, ask Mr Kennedy for a gr 5 problem!

Bring your answers to class on Friday and we will see what the possible answers might be.

Make it a challenge! Make it FUN! Even if you find it hard, persevere, work through it! :-)
