Working with Time

It was great to see all of the exciting board games today! I know that you all had a great time playing them and practicing your probability skills. We have a few more days left to try out all of the board games.

In the mean time, continue to practice your knowledge of time at home. After we have finished up with the board games, we will be continuing on with Measurement.

Here are some great websites for you to practice your knowledge of time.

Multiplication and Division Practice

Hey students! I am posting some websites to give you additional support with your practice of multiplication and division. Please take the time to practice these skills as it will be an important factor in grade 5. Study the multiplication chart and continue to work on your division skills!

That is all for now! Happy Practicing!!

Weekend Practice

Practice is always a great thing! Take some time to explore these websites below. In them, you will find many of the same concepts that we are learning in the classroom.

For example, below you will find some great websites based on fractions.

This website will allow you to explore more of the story elements that we have been studying in class. The second website below will also allow you to create your own myth/legend.

Have a super weekend everyone! See you on Monday!!

Fraction

Hello students! We have just launched our new math unit on fractions and I wanted to post some websites that will give you some extra practice. Here they are...

Math Homework and Extra Practice

Hello students! Good luck tonight on your math homework. I am sure that you will all do great. If you need a refresher on faces, edges, and vertices here is a quick note.

Faces: The flat surfaces on a shape. A cube has six faces.

Edges: The edges or straight lines that make up a 3D shape.

Vertices: Otherwise known as points. A vertex is where two lines meet.

This is a great website for reviewing many of the concepts we have been learning about 3D geometry. Besides the talking sea shells that might creep you out...I think you will enjoy the activities.

These are some great websites that will compliment our unit on Medieval Times.

Geometry Practice

Hello students! I really enjoyed making 3D prisms with you today. Here is something to remember! Remember that you can classify shapes based on more information than their sides and corners. Look for things like angles and sets of parallel lines. For example, a square has four equal sides, but it also has four right angles. Just a heads up for a possible small quiz this week.

Here are some great websites to practice your knowledge of shapes, both 2D and 3D. Check them out!

Angle Practice

Hello students! I wanted to post these links from my math lesson this morning. I think they will give you extra practice using a protractor. Remember all of the golden rules that we have been talking about in class to measure angles correctly.

Here is another website that gives further practice in measuring angles using a protractor.

This website offers a quick quiz on measuring angles.
