Math
Today we learned how to write equations using variables. We used our input / output rules to form the equations. For example:

We give the input a variable and the output a variable.

We'll call the input numbers a and the output numbers b

The equation is a x 3 = b

Once we write an equation with the rule, we can solve b for any value of a. If a = 6 then b = 6 x 3 = 18

Do you understand the difference between EXPRESSIONS and EQUATIONS?

Test on median and mode (grade 4) and median, mode and mean (grade 5).

Example question:

Find the median, mode and mean test mark of the following data:

REMEMBER: If the data is about something specific e.g. temperature, mm, minutes, you must include that unit in your answer.

Social Studies

Early Societies:

We continued discussing natural resources in Ancient Rome and Judea. What were some of the different ways water was gathered and stored? Why was water so important? What were the structures below called?

Water was also stored in CISTERNS

Most students started gathering information for their research project today. Remember, books only.

First Nations

We discussed the roles of different members of the community. Most grade fives began their mind map. You should be thinking about how you will construct your model shelter of a wigwam or longhouse. 

Literacy

The board for the Breadwinner looks great. It's just about ready for use!
