Billboard Presentations


In today's math time we continued learning about number patterns. Students identified patterns as growing, shrinking, alternating, recursive or a combination of these. They used pattern rules to find up to the tenth term of a pattern. Students are using their knowledge from yesterday's input/output lessons to help with today's work. Some tricks that help are: if the number being added to each term is doubled or tripled each time, then one machine will probably be  X 2 or X 3. Students are discovering how important it is to work in a neat and organised fashion to prevent mistakes, or to be able to find where you went wrong. Remaining practice questions need to be completed at home.

In our inquiry time, students worked with their partner from yesterday to complete a good copy of their billboard design that convinces the public to conserve energy.  Students presented their billboards to the class. The questioning time following presentations got quite intense at times.





Students continued working on their jot notes in class.

Grade 6s attended Drama, French, and Gym class today.
