Math for Both Grades

In math -

Grade 4's are exploring measurement. They have been estimating and measuring in cm, mm, and m.
A great learning opportunity at home is to allow them to explore the house and measure various items. They are building up their references in order to estimate measurements for the times when they don't have a measuring tool with them.

They have also been exploring km and metres to determine distance. When driving, help them see how far a km is and compare it to 5 kms so they can see the difference.

Holiday baking is a great time to have them help you by measuring ingredients.

Measurement is a fun and easy math unit to do at home with them!

Today they started measuring time using analog clocks. Again, ask them to tell you the time and work with them to determine elapsed time.

Grade 5's have been exploring temperature. They have been reading thermometers and we even coded the Microbits to record temperature.

Please bring in a clear glass bottle so that we can make our own thermometers.

Today, the 5's starting measuring time up to the second.
