Math Strategies


In today's math time we focused on strategies to solve problems. We used charts and 'guess and check' as our main ways of solving problems. Some of the problems we tackled were very tricky. Everyone got their practice work done in class and no one is expected to take math home today.

In our inquiry time, students were allocated their last class time to find an internet source about their science fair topic and make jot notes. We discussed how students should use a graphic organiser to organise their research paper. One example is a web organiser. Students are expected to write a 3-5 paragraph research paper. They have been assigned the completion of the organiser for homework so we can start working on writing the paragraphs tomorrow.   

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

 Homework & Reminders:

  • Complete your graphic organiser plan for your science fair research paper
  • MMS Number Pattern unit test on Tuesday, Oct. 14
  • Friday, Oct. 10 is a PD Day for teachers - there is no school for students
