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

Place Value Expectations

 

PLACE VALUE

Our focus this month 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.

In our Literacy block, we are learning how Fix-Up Strategies help us when we are struggling to decode a word. When reading with your child, remind them to use their strategies to help support their at-school learning.

In Religion, we have been working on our unit on Samaritans on a Digital Road - teaching us all about being safe online (click the link for more information). 

This year we will be participating in Terry Fox’s Marathon of Hope and St. Bernard is proud to be continuing the legacy of one of our greatest heroes. Please join us and support this cause by donating at the following link:  The Terry Fox Run online donations

We will be participating in this year's Run on Friday, October 1st at 9:30am.  Please dress appropriately for our outdoor run.

As always, please feel free to contact me with a note in the agenda if you have any questions.  Thank you!
