Dividing Decimals by 10, 100, 1000, and 10 000


Grade 6s attended French class with Mme. Villeneuve and Gym class with Ms. Kominek this morning.
After gym, we took up yesterday’s math homework on multiplying decimals.

After lunch and recess, we worked on the next two math lessons on dividing decimals by 10, 100, 1000, and 10 000 and multiplying decimals by 0.1, 0.01, 0.001. This was easy once students realised that “x 0.1” is the same as” ÷10”.  We discussed how to convert cm to m and mm. Students were required to complete and correct review questions 11 – 13 in class. Students had class time to work on today’s practice work. For homework, students are asked to complete practice questions 1 a), c), e), 2 - 9 p. 141 & 142 and questions 1 a), c), 2 a), c), 3 a) c), 5 - 8 on p. 144 - 145 of the MMS textbook.
Next, we worked on persuasive writing. Students read more samples of student work and added to their list of strengths and weaknesses for the sample they read. They shared their ideas with their partners and with the class. We have continued adding to the class checklist on how to write a spectacular persuasive letter.

During today’s inquiry time, we finished up our first pointillism project. Some students began work on another pointillism project.
We had a short, quick practice for the Christmas concert at the end of the day.

Look out for a letter about the MYP fundraiser coming home today.
