Mindomo

Today we used mindomo to create a mind map about units of measurement collaboratively
Here is our mind map. Ask your child to show you how to use mindomo

Measurement is all around us

Today, the juniors investigated how measurement is a part of our everyday environments. We examined different units of measure we could use to measure things in our environment. Please visit the students webpages to see what they found

Introducing Measurement

Today we created a chart brainstorming what we know about measurement. This is what we did

Interactive Measurement Diagnostic Chart

Please visit the students individual bloggers to see what they have measured with standard and non-standard units.

Morning Class is starting measurement today

This morning we were showing what we know about measurement. The morning math group was showing how to measure using non-standard units.

An update

So it's been a month since I have been able to update our class blog. A lot has been happening in our classroom over the past few weeks. We have finished up with data management and moved onto our patterning unit. We have been working on repeating and growing patterns. If you want to see specifically what your child is doing, please visit their blogger for their posts.

From our patterning unit, we started with some repeating patterns explorations

We created a repeating patterns anchor chart...

We also did some math inquiry...
