Weekly Update & Daily Challenge

Hi Everyone,

Thank you to everyone who had a chance to come out and support our class during the Remembrance Day assembly. The presentations were very well done and presented with a respectful tone. We have yet another busy week in our classroom as we are preparing for our upcoming student lead conferences. Slips have already gone home to remind you of your date and time. Each interview is scheduled for a fifteen minute interval. If you need a reminder, please just send a note in your child's agenda. 

Here are a few things that we are working on this week in our classroom

Math- We are exploring the explicit patterning rule 

-We will be looking at different ways to solve word problems involving patterning 

Literacy- Today we started our new class novel "Ghost Ride" 

-We are working through the APE format (Answer, Prove, Extend) to respond to questions involving different reading strategies

- Students are working on a point view assignment connected to Remembrance Day in the form of a letter 

- We will be completing a summative assessment in our narrative unit -Students will be given a prompt and asked to develop a plot line

Science- We are continuing to work through our biodiversity unit -This week students will begin a mini research on one of the kingdoms 

**Picture Retake Day- Tuesday, November 14th, 2016

Daily Challenge- Explicit Patterning Rule

Term Number= First Term + ([term number -1] x common difference)

Solve the following questions

a) 21, 26, 31, 36 ...... Find the 44th term

b) 2.2, 4.4, 6.6, 8.8 ... Find the 32nd term

REMINDER

Hi Everyone,
Just a friendly reminder of the agenda for tomorrow. We will do our best to make sure assemblies will begin right on time. We are right near the beginning of the program. Also, dress in black if possible. Poppies will be given out tomorrow. Remember, to bring a change of clothes for our outdoor science activity in the afternoon.

Also, once you arrive to school in the morning, please come right away to the gym for a quick practice with the stage.

Group 1 - Alex, Bobbi, Ashley, Rebecca, Katie, Maddy, Lindsay, Camryn, Sarah, Abby, Kaylen- Will be performing at the 9:30 a.m. assembly for the primary division

Will be performing at the junior/intermediate assembly at 10:20 a.m.

Thanks Everyone!

Have a WONDERFUL evening!

Patterning Challenge

Write a rule for each t-table (an equation). Each rule involves two operations and require to steps. 
As an added bonus, you can come up with your own input/output table to challenge the class tomorrow.

Science Terms

Hi Everyone,
Tonight your challenge is to find some animals that fit into each of the descriptions below :)

Carnivore: An animal that eats other animals
Herbivore: An animal that eats plants
Omnivore: An animal that eats plants and other animals

These terms will be very helpful in our survivor game :)

Math- Starting our patterning unit this week

Daily Challenge

a) I am the seventh number in the following sequence of numbers: 1,4, 9, 16.....
What number am I?

b) I am the sixth in the following sequence of numbers: 1, 3, 7, 15.......
What number am I?

c) Edgar does sit-ups daily. On Monday, he did 20 sit ups. On Tuesday, he did 30. He did 50 sit ups on Wednesday and 90 on Thursday. If he continues this pattern, Edgar will do an impressive number of sit ups on Saturday. What number of sit ups will he do?

Data Management Review

Good Evening Everyone,
Below is some extra review questions for our upcoming math test, which is scheduled for Monday November 7th. We will also be completing a review in class tomorrow and taking up the answers on Monday.

Good Luck! You are able to use a calculator for any of the questions.

1. The weekly salaries of six employees at McDonalds are $140, $220, $90, $180, $140, $200. For these six salaries, find: (a) the mean (b) the median (c) the mode 


2. Andy has grades of 84, 65, and 76 on three math tests.  What grade must he obtain on the next test to have an average of exactly 80 for the four tests?

3. Test scores for a class of 20 students are as follows:
93, 84, 97, 98, 100, 78, 86, 100, 85, 92, 72, 55, 91, 90, 75, 94, 83, 60, 81, 95 

4.  Complete the tally chart to represent the data above.

Test Scores	Frequency
91-100
81-90
71-80
61-70
51-60
