In Math, we started reviewing multiplication with a connect four game. Students rolled a 6 or 9 sided dice and found the product. They then choose that number on a game board and tried to get 4 chips in a row. This game is to help students describe and apply mental mathematics strategies to determine basic multiplication facts to 9 × 9.
In Science, we continued to look closer at simple machines. Today we explored the three classes of levers. Students demonstrated ways to use a lever that applies a small force to create a large force. We also predicted how changes in the size and and position of the fulcrum will affect the forces and movements involved.
Students will be studying gymnastics during Phys Ed from Tuesday, January 7th till Thursday, January 24th.
