Number Patterns

We have 3 more Math units to cover before our Review for EQAO testing.  This week we will focus on Number Patterns.  The expectations are as follows:

• I can extend repeating, growing and shrinking number patterns
• I can create a number pattern involving addition or subtraction, given a presented pattern on a number line or a written pattern rule
• I can represent simple geometric patterns using a number sequence, number line, or a bar graph

Here are some online games you can try on your computers at home.

Remember:  a good foundation in addition, subtraction, multiplication and division is helpful when working on number patterns; so practising your xtramath.org math facts is also a good idea.  Working on speed and accuracy with number facts is always an easy thing to practise in the car, on a walk, and at tuck in.

Transformational Geometry expectations

I sincerely apologize for not having the blog up on time this weekend.  My computer was taken from me to exchange for an updated one and I didn't have all my resources with me.  Again, I am so sorry about that.

This week's quiz will be on Friday on Transformational Geometry.  The expectations are as follows:

1. I can identify reflections (flips), translations (slides), and rotations (turns).
2. I can complete and describe designs and pictures of images that have a line of symmetry.
3. I can describe movements from one location to another using a grid map.

Here are some games that you can play online to practise these skills:

Time expectations

We have now begun our time unit in which the students are learning to do the following:

• I can read time using analogue clocks to the nearest five minutes and represent time in 12-hour notation (digital time e.g. 4:10)

• I can solve problems involving the relationships between min and hrs, hrs and days, days and weeks, and weeks and years (e.g. How many days are in 2 weeks?  How many minutes are in 3 hours?)

We will be having our Unit Quiz on Tuesday of next week.  Here are some websites for practising:
