Unit One Review

We are bringing our Place Value unit to a close this Tuesday, September 30th. Below is a way for you and your child to study and practice the concepts and skills required for the Unit test next week. We have completed this activity several times in class.


1. Create a 5 digit number (roll dice, use cards, etc. )
2. write the number in expanded form
3. write the # in word form
4. create the # using base ten blocks
5. round the # to the nearest ten, hundreds, thousands, and ten thousands
6. compare the # to 23, 789 (use <,>,or =)
7. compare the # to 76, 298 (use <,>, or =)
8. Put the following numbers in order greatest to least: your #, 45,688, and 46, 239
9. Put the following numbers in order least to greatest: your #, 23, 128, and 83, 234
10. subtract your # from 134, 567
11. add your # to 3, 567




Repeat if necessary!
Share your number below and at least one of the above tasks in the comment section!
This will earn you 3 points on the test!!
I posted my number,  too!

Greenville Zoo September 19, 2014

We had a great time at the zoo on Friday! We saw. learned about, and touched lots of cool animals! Thanks to all the chaperones who came along and made the trip a success! Check out the pictures from the trip below.
Also, since we are beginning our unit on Classifying Animals as vertebrates or invertebrates, see if you can tell which category some of these cool creatures would belong in! Comment below!!!
Goats
       Chickens           Monkeys
 Leopard
  Tortoise
   Giraffe Tarantula
  Snake Lizard
  Tree Frog

Ticket Exchange

Comment on what prizes you would like to see in the prize box. Give reasonable suggestions! You can list several ideas and how many tickets you think it should cost. You work hard for tickets so make sure it's something you would want to spend them on!

Have fun!!

LifeBoats

Today in Science we conducted an experiment to see if the capacity of a boat was related to the number of passengers it could hold. Our hypothesis was, the bigger the boat the more people it will hold.
The experiment consisted of multiple step directions, lots of cooperative learning, and the use of several Scienctific tools. (ruler, scissors, Graduated cylinders)

Check out the procedures:

Procedure:

1. Measure up from the bottom of the cup to 2cm and draw a line. Using scissors cut the cup to this height. Then cut a cup to 3 cm high and the third to 4 cm high. Name each boat and record this on the “Lifeboat Inspection” sheet.

2. Using a graduated cylinder fill each boat with water to its top. Record this amount as the boats capacity on the “Lifeboat Inspection” sheet. Empty each boat of water and dry it out.

3. Place the first boat into the water. Carefully load pennies (passengers) into the lifeboats one at a time. Remember that once the boat sinks it has one too many passengers. Record the number of pennies the boat can hold on the “Lifeboat Inspection” sheet.

4. Repeat this process for each boat and record data.

5. Using data make a graph of your results on the “Lifeboat Inspection” sheet.

 

This is how we recorded our data:

Lifeboats	Capacity of each boat in ml	Prediction of how many pennies can load into boat before it sinks	Number of pennies the boat can hold
2 cm- _______________
3cm- _______________
4 cm-________________

This was a super fun experiment and the kids did a great job with all the directions! They were amazed at how many pennies even the smallest boat could hold.

 

 

 

Place Value

We have our first Math test on Tuesday, September 9th. The test covers the following topics:

• Writing Numbers in Word, Standard, and Expanded form
• Comparing numbers using <, >, and =
• Ordering numbers least to greatest and greatest to least
• Rounding numbers to the nearest ten, hundred, thousand, and ten thousand using a number line

See examples below for any questions you may have!

Ordering Numbers

What we learned today...


Today we wrote five digit numbers on a piece of paper and had to put them in order

                                                                                                                                       Amelia


Today we wrote numbers and put them in order from least to greatest and greatest to least


                                                                                                                                     Katie


Today we wrote on a piece of paper and put them from least to greatest and greatest to least
   
                                                                                                                                                   Orlando

Today we wrote five digit numbers on a piece and Mrs Garrett scrambled them up and what ever you got you have to get in order to greatest to least
