Geometric Reasoning Expectations

Geometric Reasoning (2D & 3D shapes)

Expectations:

I can  sort, construct, and identify cubes, prisms, pyramids, cylinders, and cones by comparing their faces, edges, vertices, and angles

I can compose and decompose various structures, and identify the two-dimensional shapes and three-dimensional objects that these structures contain

I can identify congruent lengths, angles, and faces of three-dimensional objects by mentally and physically matching them, and determine if the objects are congruent

Data Management Expectations

Data Literacy

We began our Data Literacy Unit on Monday - here are the new learning expectations and some tips on how you can practice at home:

• I can collect data by conducting a simple survey 
• I can collect and organize and display data in charts, tables, and graphs with appropriate titles and labels 
• I can read data presented in charts, tables, and graphs, then describe the data using comparative language 
• I can interpret and draw conclusions from data 
• I can demonstrate an understanding of mode and mean and identify them both in a set of data 

Some ways that you can practice at home:
Sort objects at home (sort fruit & veggies into the fridge after shopping, sort coins in different ways), take surveys at home (who likes chicken more than beef, what type of pizza does everyone like in your family), if you see a graph or table in a book, newspaper, magazine, social media - ask your child to show you the labels, ask which is most popular, which is least popular, what does the graph tell you.

Place Value Expectations

 

PLACE VALUE

Our current focus in math in math is Place Value! Here are our learning goals for this unit:

• I can count to 1000, including by 50s, 100s and 200s using a variety of tools

• I can read, represent, compose and decompose, compare and order whole numbers up to 1000

• I can round whole numbers to the nearest ten or hundred

• I can use place value when describing and representing multi-digit numbers in a variety of ways, including with base ten materials

Try to help your child consolidate this learning at home by having them skip count while waiting for the light to change in the car, while waiting for their sibling to get dressed, and while waiting for commercials/ads to be over. When shopping and looking at prices, ask your child to round the dollar amounts to the nearest 10. When a number comes up in a book, on the television, or in an address, ask them to tell you which digit is in the 100's column, or 10's column, or 1's column and what it's value is.

MULTIPLICATION and DIVISION

 

Number Sense - Multiplication & Division 

• I can use the properties of operations, and the relationships between multiplication and division, to solve problems and check calculations

• I can recall and demonstrate multiplication facts of 2, 5, and 10, and related division facts

• I can represent multiplication of numbers up to 10 × 10 and division up to 100 ÷ 10, using a variety of tools and drawings, including arrays

WAYS TO PRACTICE:

Have your child practice their multiplication tables at night before bed, in the car while driving to run errands, or while eating dinner. 

Use flashcards that you can buy from the dollar store or that you can make on cue cards or sticky notes.

LINEAR MEASUREMENT

 

Linear Measurement Expectations

• I can use appropriate units of length to estimate, measure, and compare the perimeters of polygons and curved shapes, and construct polygons with a given perimeter

• I can explain the relationships between millimetres, centimetres, metres, and kilometres as metric units of length, and use benchmarks for these units to estimate lengths

• I can use various units of different sizes to measure the same attribute of a given item, and demonstrate that even though using different-sized units produces a different count, the size of the attribute remains the same

• I can compare the areas of two-dimensional shapes by matching, covering, or decomposing and recomposing the shapes, and demonstrate that different shapes can have the same area

• I can use appropriate non-standard units to measure area, and explain the effect that gaps and overlaps have on accuracy

• use square centimetres (cm2) and square metres (m2) to estimate, measure, and compare the areas of various two-dimensional shapes, including those with curved sides

• Here are some online games: Measuring Fun , Using a Ruler, Area Game , Perimeter Game , Area Builder
