Unit of Inquiry
Today we talked about how we can contribute to protecting plant and soil habitats. We discussed how we are responsible for caring for the plants and soil were are surrounded by and the consequences that can arise if we don't care for the soil and plants. We also discussed what soil erosion is and how we can help prevent this from happening.
RECESS/ LUNCH
Inquiry into Math
Together we worked on a strategy to solve word problems such as solving which 3D solids you can make when provided with a certain number of toothpicks and marshmallows. While doing this, we were able to recognize a pattern that exists when solving the number of vertices and edges in 3D solids:
- Pyramids: to solve the number of edges in a pyramid, multiply the number of edges in your base by 2
- Prisms: to solve the number of edges in a prism, multiply the number of edges in your base by 3. To solve the number of vertices in a prism, multiply the number of edges in your base by 2.
Great job recognizing these patterns grade 3s!
Then we began to work on our Geometry reviews. Reviews will be due on Monday. They will have another work period in class tomorrow.
RECESS/ LUNCH
Inquiry into Language
We continued to read The Secret Garden today. We answered the first two comprehension questions together to ensure we were answering in full sentences. Students are to complete the remaining comprehension questions on pages 2 and 3.
