Day 9
We continued
working on our new math unit. We took up yesterday’s homework and then did a
lesson on subtracting fractions. We did this using the same method as
yesterday, namely by changing fractions to an equivalent fraction that has the
same denominator and then subtracting the numerators. Students are asked to
complete practice questions on p. 305 – 306 of the MMS textbook.
The rest of
class time was spent working on exhibition. Students began their time
conducting a self- and peer- assessment of their own and a partner’s research and
note-taking skills. Students were then asked to discuss their primary research source
and their action component ideas with their groups, mentors, and parents as
planning needs to be done for these components. The remainder of exhibition
time was used to complete the secondary research sources as we begin working on
the essay on Monday.
Students had
the opportunity to visit the Grade 10 personal projects today. Grade 6s
attended at least 4 different presentations. We discussed what we learned, the
strengths that inspired us and gave us ideas for our exhibition projects, and
what we would do differently. Students had many ideas for their exhibition that
they are super excited about.
