Math:. Today we continued to talk about equations involving subtraction.
Next, we did some examples together involving two math problems on either side.
It is important that children are showing their work underneath the question. We
spoke about our subtraction “Rule of Thumb.” We did some examples together
involving two math problems on either side. It is important that children are
showing their work underneath the question.
I
provided each student with a hundred chart and a subtraction equation hint
sheet to glue into their math notebooks. The hint sheet has a step by step
guide on how to solve a subtraction equation and how to see if both sides of a
subtraction question is equal.
Here are the steps that I gave them to complete their
homework tonight.
The hundreds chart helps a lot. Please use them if you
are having trouble. Please make sure you return your math journal tomorrow so
we can use the hundreds chart again.
Steps to filling in a blank in a subtraction
question:
1. What are the answers to
each side? Write them down underneath
2. Remember our rules of
thumb
a. If you have a little number and the answer
you ADD!
b. If you have a big number and the answer you
SUBTRACT!
3. Rearrange the question
if you have to on the side of your page
4. Rewrite the equation
with the final answer
Example:
13 - ______= 15 – 7
8
13-8=5
13-5=15-7
If
you are trying to figure out two questions are equal:
1. What are the answers to
each side? Write them down underneath
2. Are they equal? If they
are not write “They are not equal”
3. What number should you
make it equal to? Decide which side.
4. Determine what the
equation needs to be in order to make it equal
a. One side needs to stay
the same
b. The other side cannot
change completely, change on number in order to make the equation equal
c. If they are having
trouble, rewrite the question using our rules of thumb
13 - 5
and 15 – 4
8 11
They are not equal.
15-8=7
13 - 5 = 15 – 7
Remember
to ALWAYS rewrite the final answer in an equation!!
We
worked on worksheets together in class. Whatever questions from the worksheets
that were not completed in class, were assigned for homework.
Gym: Please
see Mr. Beresford's blog for more information.
UOI/Language: Today we reviewed the acronyms OREO. Opinion, reason, evidence and opinion. The reason and evidence are repeated three times for three reasons (opinion 1. reason, evidence 2. reason, evidence 3. reason, evidence and restate the opinion). We spoke about the difference between a weak and a strong argument. As a class, we competed an OREO about school uniforms ensuring all of our reasons were different and were supported by strong examples. We began writing a rough copy of an OREO for the topic of should students have homework. The students had to check in with me to ensure that we were providing strong reasons with examples that supported them. If anyone did not complete it, it was assigned for homework.
Recess/Lunch
Daily Five: Students were given this time
to read either independently or with a friend, complete either their math
worksheet or their Oreo rough copy.
UOI: We reviewed our success criteria for our advertisement. Each
student began creating their rough copies. They had to label their rough copies
with each part of the success criteria to show me and get approval for their
good copy. Whoever did not complete the rough copy had it assigned for homework.
The success criteria is:
- 2-3 ad techniques (no more than 4)
- Purpose of the ad is stated
- Company name
- Logo
- Slogan
Recess/Lunch
French: Please see Mme. Stella's blog for more information.
For Homework:
