Happy Friday!
Math/Science:
This
week in math students continued their pixel art projects that explored
transformations of a shape within the Cartesian plane. In addition to our work
with shapes and space students completed a couple word problems that focused on
patterning. Students explored strategies for extending and communicating
changes within a pattern. We discussed the use of a pattern rule to assist in
extending patterns, using a table to indicate input and outputs of a pattern.
This helped students communicate a pattern rule as something that happens
within the input/output table, rather than something that only changes between
the outputs.
In science students completed their open book unit test on
Electricity and Magnetism. For the remainder of the week students worked on a
summative science timeline, capturing the different units and facts they have
learned throughout the year in Science. Students were encouraged to use
diagrams and jot notes to show their understandings from each unit.
Homework: Complete pixel art for
math.
Have a great weekend (3 more days)!
