The rest of the morning was spent with half the students working on their nature’s fury projects while other students had the opportunity to work on the Friday grammar, tonight’s math homework, read/listen to the math lessons, and complete their science homework. Then after 50 minutes, the students traded positions where the other half were able to work on their projects. Once again the energy was strong with many of the students taking this time extremely serious and proceeding with their best efforts. Some students stamina was not as strong and we had some conversations regarding the overall goal and expectations. Let’s hope tomorrow is a new day :)
Math:
Using estimating to ensure your calculations are correct. So we practiced how to quickly estimate using either the decomposing/distributive property and the power of zeros.
There was a great question asked by a student prior to this update about confirming expectations on problems 11-19.
They are to multiply the real problem, using decomposing/distributive property and then to confirm that this answer is reasonable they are to estimate. Rather than using the term estimate, the book calls it “check for reasonableness.”
E.G. --
#13 7,152 * 283
7,152*200 + 7,152 * 80 + 7,152*3 = 2,024,016
also you would do:7,000*300 = 2,100,000
Homework tonight: 64-65 1-24 all
Social Studies
We reviewed and discussed pages 155 through 162
Virginia plan versus New Jersey plan.
We discussed how this is even being discussed today...with the two Senators of California representing 37,000,000 between the two of them while Delaware two Senators represent just under 800,000 between the two of them.
Finally we had rotations. Students need to complete pages 161 through 163 for science.
Have a great evening!!!
