Working on Surveys and Deciding on Jobs

Hello,

This morning we started the day with some review of mean, median, mode and range. The we explored converting fractions to percentages. The students were given a worksheet that featured all of these concepts, which is to be completed tonight.

The students used the final 20 minutes of the block to complete a variety of tasks. Some finished up their advertising posters and announcements, some worked on their story summaries for Three Monks, No Water, while other continued to work on their math worksheet, to ensure that they would not have it for homework.

During second block, we continued our work on the Graphing and Survey project with the other Grade 6 class. The students made great progress, with many of the pairs beginning to ask students their survey questions. To wrap up the block, the students selected their job for this week's literature circle on Friday. Most students have finished their assigned reading for this week, and they can spend tonight and Thursday working on their role for this week.

Each student has one job to complete, with some students in smaller groups having two jobs from the following list: Discussion Director, Literary Luminary, Connector, Word Wizard and Illustrator/Mapper.

I have shared a pdf of the job sheets with each of you on your Google Drive, for your reference.

Have a great evening.

Mr. Skinner
