Math, Science and Number Corner
In math in this week we have been moving into unit 6. In unit 6 we are going to learn more about fractions and newly learn about decimals. This week we were looking at different sized sections on a geoboard and trying to figure out what fractions they were. After this, we extended our thinking by making connections with the fractions (for example, 2 1/4’s = 1 1/2). We actually ended up adding and dividing fractions!
In science this week we have been learning more about light and sound. This week we read a book about the subject. We then filled out definitions for words that were mentioned in the book. For example we had to define photon, light and reflection. Also, we did stations about light with prisms!
In number corner we have been recording the trip and mileage of the trip going on in our calendar.
