Inquiry into Language:
Students peer-edited each others narratives today providing each other with compliments, suggestions and making corrections on their stories. I have reviewed the feedback from each student and will reflect with them on the types of feedback they provided.
RECESS/ LUNCH
Inquiry into Math
Today we learned about the difference between mass and capacity, the units of measurement used for each one, and how to convert from ml to L and g to kg.
Capacity refers to the amount something can hold and is measured in ml and L.
Mass refers to the weight of an object and is measured in grams and kilograms.
We then did some examples together of how to convert from one unit of measurement to another.
When converting from the larger unit of measurement to the smaller unit of measurement (ex. kilogram to gram or Litre to millilitre) we have to multiply that number by 1000. The amount should be getting larger since we would need a lot more of the smaller unit of measure to make up the same amount of the larger unit of measure. The strategy we used to solve this is moving the decimal over 3 spaces to the right. Once we have identified where the decimal is, we draw three jumps to the right. This is now the new place for our decimal.
When converting from the smaller unit of measurement to the larger unit of measurement (ex. grams to kilograms or millilitres to Litres) we have to divide the number by 1000. This means our answer should be smaller than the number provided since we are finding the larger unit of measurement, which we would need less of to make the same amount for the smaller unit of measurement. Since we are dividing, our decimal will move 3 spaces to the left. Once we have identified where the decimal is, we draw three jumps to the left. This is now the new place for our decimal.
** If a number does not have a decimal, then we know the decimal must be at the end of the number (ex. 245 = 245.)
Unit of Inquiry
Today we learned about three landform regions in Ontario: The Canadian Shield, The Hudson Bay Lowlands and the Great Lakes/ St. Lawrence Lowlands. We identified their location on a map, then read a description of the land and jobs in these areas.
For homework, students are to complete the cut and paste activity where they have to determine which region each of the jobs provided belong in. Students have to underline or highlight the text that helped them determine where those jobs belong.
