We are fast approaching Term 1 Reports! The students are working on the following:
LANGUAGE: Students have continued with Reading excerpts and answering COMPLETE sentences. This continues to be an area of need, and we will continue to reinforce using the question in the answer, using information from the text and their own ideas to formulate their BEST RESPONSES.
We are also focusing on SEQUENCING events to reinforce order of events. This is a way of preparing them for upcoming Term 2 writing - including essays.
HOMEWORK SUGGESTIONS:
Non-Fiction Reading and Comprehension
Non-Fiction Reading #2
MATH: We are detouring to learn / review PERIMETER and AREA. I cannot stress enough HOW IMPORTANT IT IS FOR THE STUDENTS TO SHOW ALL WORK! The answer alone represents only a portion of the alloted marks.
This includes:
STATE THE RULE i.e. P = 2 (l+w)
PLUG IN THE NUMBERS = 2 (4+5)
SOLVE THE NEXT STEP = 2 (9)
SHOW THE ANSWER = 18 cm
The solution above is worth 4 marks. Stating the answer alone represents 1 / 4.
HOMEWORK SUGGESTIONS:
SHOW ALL STEPS FOR THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS
Perimeter of a Quadrilateral REVIEW
Perimeter of a Polygon
Perimeter of a Triangle
