Day 7
We continued
working on our new math unit. We took up yesterday’s homework and then did a
lesson on comparing and ordering improper fractions and mixed numbers. We did this in several ways: by drawing
pictures, by using a number line, converting all mixed numbers to improper
fractions, and converting all improper fractions to mixed numbers. Students are
asked to complete practice questions on p. 296 - 297 of the MMS textbook.
The rest of
class time was spent working on exhibition. As a class we discussed the
criteria used to create lines of inquiry. Students used these criteria to
formulate their group’s lines of inquiry. I have checked on most groups’
central ideas, concept questions, and lines of inquiry. We then began the
research. Students used the internet as their source. They made a note of the
source of information in their records book. They also made jot notes in their
records book. Groups attended mentor meetings through the day.
Students
attended French class today.
Look out for
emails that went out yesterday about parent-teacher conferences taking place
next week.
