This week in math students worked on solving patterning problems, including extending numeric patterns and geometric patterns. We also learned the patterns of divisibility and how to extend patterns in graphs. They wrote a quiz on patterning, which will go home on Monday to be signed. Next week we will begin to look at fractions, then decimals.
We continued with our inquiry entitled, "What is Freedom?" and added the questions, "What is Diversity?" and "What is the relationship between freedom and diversity?" Students worked in groups to create charts that answered these questions.
To celebrate Willy Reads, we had 2 guest speakers. All the junior students listened to an author speak about her novel and her experiences as a writer. In addition, Mr. Svenningsen read a book to our class and focussed on making inferences using context clues.
