This week Math & Science ended up being (mostly) outside! Students continued along their journeys in exploring the world of Muffles Truffles and worked hard on finding some solutions to mixed boxes! We have included some of that work in their Math Journals for you to take a look at over the weekend. The following sheet was glued inside their books so you have an idea around what to expect.
"Through the Muffles Truffles problems the grade 4’s have been working on multiplication, perimeter, area, factors and prime numbers. The students are at the stage where they should be able to teach the concepts…That’s where you come in! They have been asked to create arrays (boxes) representing the numbers 1-20 that shows their understanding of the factors for each number. In their math journal they will have glued in the math problem. They are to complete a good copy of their work and discuss their findings with you. The reason we are sending this home is due to the fact that we have spent 3 weeks on this concept. We are hoping you can support your child’s understanding as we build upon these concepts in the upcoming weeks. Once your child has completed their good copy this weekend and discussed the concepts with you, please sign their math journal on the line below. "

*On a side note, please feel free to start practicing the multiplication tables at home!
Science looked at human impact on plants and students explored what plants need to survive through visual imagery and collaboration! Sidewalk chalk aided them in that adventure. Clem's Garden has provided us a much needed space outside to complete math POW's, walking meetings, and bug hunting!
Take a look at some of the photos below for a glimpse into their week!
