Math Inquiry

Hello,

This morning, the students worked in partners on a math inquiry problem about spinners and whether they were fair. If any students pull out a spinner to settle an argument with one of their siblings, beware, the results might be rigged in their favour. Then we corrected the Math inquiry work we did yesterday on the Chrome Books. The students completed a variety of questions, involving factors and multiples, on a Google presentation. There were a few small issues, as a slide or two was deleted and then recovered, but it was a rewarding process and we will be doing it again, later this week.

In Language, we are continuing to work on our Meaning of Home explanatory. At this point, the rough draft should be completed, edited and shared with me. We will be making our final revisions tomorrow.

We are also continuing to read our novel, "The Fourteenth Goldfish". It is a very interesting novel, with many twists and turns. Tonight the students are asked to submit four questions to me in a Google Doc (if that is not possible, write the questions in your black Language duo-tang). Each student needs to think of two questions for the author and two questions for a character in the book, and explain their reasoning for wanting to ask these questions.

Remember to keep bringing in litter-free lunches.

Have a great night.

Mr. Skinner
