Lots of Ideas

Hello,

This morning, we went to the Learning Commons to exchange our books and to brainstorm ideas for our Christmas Concert performance. We will make a final decision tomorrow, but there will be no shortage of choices. We discussed everything from a "Frozen Medley" to original songs and re-written Christmas versions of current pop songs.

Next, we finished our Bar Graphs and Double-Bar Graphs with our partners. Each group was given feedback on their original graph and made improvements for their double-bar graph. Now, we will be exploring Mean, Median and Mode. Tonight, the students need to watch the following videos.

Mean, Median and Mode Toads.

Hey Diddle, Diddle - not the original

Hey Diddle, Diddle - text

Finally, we continued to work on our Kiva persuasive letters. I shared a document with each of the students on their Google Drive, reminding them of the person they selected. If you can't find your person on the site anymore, you will need to go with your second choice. Be sure to take down all of the information and link to the profile on a Google Doc, as shown in class.

There will be time to work on the letter in class tomorrow, but you can work on it tonight to get ahead.

As well, be sure to keep exploring Mathletics and Dream Box.

Have a good night.

Mr. Skinner
