We will begin the blended program of in-class and online learning this week. I will be working with some students in-person throughout the week, and so will be unable to host our class meetings on Mondays.\u00a0 I will not be able to make phone calls either. However, Wednesdays will be “online learning” days, and so\u00a0I will aim to still run Wednesday class meetings<\/strong>, and will be able to respond to emails more quickly then too. If you are learning from home, your expectations will not change – you will still have access to the assignments on Teams, information on our class website, and the Weekly Assignments Chart.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n For those students attending school in-person this week, please bring:<\/strong><\/p>\n I am very excited to see you!<\/strong><\/p>\n Please click here for this week’s Weekly Assignments Chart – June 1-5<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Math:<\/strong><\/p>\n Math 9.4: Baking cookies<\/strong><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n <– Look like this guy! Bake some cookies!! Call it math!<\/strong> <\/span><\/a>Unfortunately, we will not be able to bake at school, so the baking is an at-home activity only. However, we can prepare to bake by assessing the recipe, and converting the fractions and\/or mixed numbers. Find the recipe in the assignment on Teams, as well as a chart to keep track of the fractions.<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n Math 9.5: birch bark biting<\/strong><\/p>\n Check out one or both of the videos below about birch bark biting. What math do you see happening in the video(s)? <\/em>(There is no one right answer here!)<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n Birch bark biting is a traditional art of the Mi\u2019kmaq, Ojibwe, Cree peoples, and other indigenous nations for thousands of years. It s done by using the thin, papery bark of the birch tree, folding it, and biting it to create intricate and completely unique patterns. Birch bark biters create incredible works of art, that also feature many mathematical aspects. What do you notice when you look at this art?<\/span><\/p>\n\n
