Hello Families,
Fall has arrived and the cooler temperatures seem to be here to stay. Please remember to have your student bring warm outerwear for outdoor learning and recess.
Math A:
Ratio tables, graphing, and equations! Students are working on completing ratio tables and graphs using a given equation using real world experiences as their examples. Students relate (x,y) labels on the ratio table to the (x,y) axises on a graph.
Math B:
Students are adding and subtracting both positive and negative numbers using a number line to show their work. Students model the relationship between a negative/negative becoming positive and how using a vertical/horizontal number line can model an increase or decrease in a number.
Math C:
Students found the distance between two points on a number line. Students practiced finding the sum and differences of two numbers, first as integers and then as rational numbers. They rewrote subtractions as the addition of a number’s opposite. Students reviewed the properties of operations and justified steps using the properties.
Science:
Students presented their hominid projects to the class and received feedback. Then, they began working individually (or in pairs) on a “survival of the fittest” comic strip representing key vocabulary terms including: overpopulation, successful reproduction, inherited variation, and struggle to survive. Students chose an animal or plant species for their comic strip as we continue to learn about Evolution.
