Thursday May 21-Math, Gr. 1’s Double Digit Addition, Gr. 2’s Unknown Numbers

Grade 1’s: Double Digit Addition

Try to do the worksheet below. We haven’t practiced math with double digits like this in a while, so it might take some practice to get back into it! There is one worksheet without regrouping (carrying the one) and there’s another with regrouping. If you aren’t ready for the second worksheet, then just stick with the first. If you do not have a printer, please don’t feel that you have to do all of them, feel free to pick and choose some to do on a blank sheet of paper.

Here are the videos showing how to do the math if you need to watch them:

Grade 2’s: Unknown Numbers 

Today we are going to practice figuring out the missing number in an equation. For example, if I had this equation, 2 + ___ = 4, what would go in the missing space? We know that 2+2=4, so 2 must go in the missing space. These equations are just like normal equations, but are shown differently and the answer is given, while one of the numbers that had to be added or subtracted is missing!

Another example, _____ + 5= 15. For this question, I have to figure out what number goes in the missing space. If I don’t know the answer right away, I can practice with objects like pencil crayons. I would count out 15 pencil crayons, set aside 5 and see how many are in the other group. If I did this, I would see that 10 pencil crayons in one group plus 5 pencil crayons in another group equal 15.

A trick to use is this, if the question has addition or a plus sign, then I can use subtraction to figure out the missing number. For ____ + 5=15, I could switch it and do 15-5 which would equal 10.

You can also use drawings to help you. In the first picture, I wrote out the equation ____ + 5 = 15. Then I drew 15 dots or circles. We know that something (a mystery number) plus 5 equals 15. So I coloured in 5 of my circles in blue.

Then I looked at my picture to see how many were left. I could see that there were 10 remaining circles. So 5 blue circles + the 10 remaining circles which I coloured in red = 15.

This can be a really tricky concept in the beginning, so if you find it difficult don’t worry! Just keep practicing.

Wednesday May 20-Expository Writing

Today the writing prompt for our expository writing is: Think of your most valued possession. Explain why it is so important to you. (*A possession is something you own, so the prompt is asking you to describe an object that is really special to you and to say why)

*Remember that expository writing is writing that describes something to the reader. Try to include as many details and description words (adjectives) as you can so that you reader can picture what you’re talking about!

Grade 1’s: Aim for 3-4 sentences.

Grade 2’s: Aim for 5-6 sentences. 

*If you would like to, I invite you to send me a photo or drawing of your most valued possession too!

 

Creative Writing

Paper and pencil pencils clipart free download clip art on ...Characters From Kids Books – Green Mountain Girls Farm

Today I want you to practice creative writing. With creative writing we use it as a way to express ourselves or to use our imagination and tell a story of something that we picture in our minds!  Think of all the books we have read in the classroom and all of the books you  have read outside of school. There are so many great books out there and great authors, each with a unique story to tell. Think of your favourite stories and the characters, descriptions, settings, problems, solutions, and all of the details in them! Today I would like you to try doing the same!

Gr.1’s: try writing 3-4 sentences. Gr. 2’s: try writing 5-6 sentences.

For today’s writing you can pick one of two options: 

  1. Continue writing your story that you introduced or started last Wednesday using words from our word wall.
  2. Write something new!

*Please note that because Monday is Victoria Day, the next blog post will be posted on Tuesday May 19 (which would be spelling).

Math-Gr. 1’s Equality vs. Inequality, Gr.2’s Rounding

Grade 1’s: Equality vs. Inequality 

Today I would like you to practice identifying if an equation is equal or not. For example, you’re used to seeing equations like 5+5=10 and 8-5=3. Now pretend that the = sign is like a wall. When we are looking to see if things are equal in math equations, we want to know if the value of the numbers on each side of the = sign wall is the same. For example, for the equation 5+5=10. On the left side, there is 5+5, we know that equals 10. On the right side we have the number 10. So on each side of the wall the value is the same. Again, with 8-5=3. Pretend the = sign is a wall. On the left side of the wall we have 8-5, which we know equals to 3. On the right side of the wall we have 3, so on each side of the wall the value is the same. In both of these situations, there is an equality.

Now what about 4+5=10? On the left side of the wall we know 4+5=9. So on the left side of the wall, the value of the numbers is 9. On the right side of the = sign wall is 9. Is this equation equal? The answer is no. 4+5 does not equal 10. The values on each side of the wall are unequal so there is an inequality. For this equation would we show that it’s an inequality by using this sign: ≠.

We can also do this with simple equations too.

If I have 5+5=6+4 is this correct? Should there be a = sign or a ≠ sign?

On the left side of the = sign wall there is 5+5 which we know equals 10. On the right side there is 6+4 which equals 10 too. So is there an equality or inequality? There is an equality because both sides equal 10. 

Try these worksheets and see if you can figure out if you use a = sign or a ≠ sign!

Grade 2’s: Rounding 

Today we will practice rounding to the nearest ten. What is rounding? Rounding is when we take a number and find the closest number 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100 that it is next to. We do this when we estimate a measurement, or need a general idea of how much there is of something or how long it is. For example, if I have the number 26 I have to think, what numbers is it between or close to (that are a multiple of ten)? Well on a number line 26 is between 20 and 30. Now what is the half way point between 20 and 30?

20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30.

25 is right in between. Now I have to think, is 26 below or above, before or after 25? It is above 25, because 26 is more than 25, it comes after it on the number line. On the number line you can see that 26 is closer to 30. So if I was rounding to the nearest ten, 26 would be rounded to  30.

We can also round to the nearest 100th. For example if I have the number 123. I would have to think, is it closer to 100 or 200? On a number line it would be closer to 100 rather than 200.

Watch this video to get a full explanation of what rounding is and how to do it! 

Rounding to the Nearest 10

Here is a diagram that might help you too.

Now I want you to try it. Here are some worksheets to try. If you don’t have a printer, see if you can just do them verbally. Use the number lines to help you if you need it!

Expository Writing

Today we will be working on expository writing! Expository writing is writing that describes or explains something. You have already done this kind of writing many times before! When you’re describing something, remember to include lots of description words (adjectives like soft, tall, big, little, scary) so that the reader can picture what you’re writing about. Also, a tip is to pretend like your reader won’t know anything at all about what you’re talking about. Pretend like it’s completely new to them, so you will have to start from the beginning and explain everything clearly. Expository writing includes information writing like textbooks or non-fiction books which have facts. These books teach you about new animals, science experiments, extreme weather, history, and all about new skills.

For today, we will just focus on expository writing where you respond to the prompt and explain your perspective or how you feel or what your opinion is. 

Write a response to the prompt: “Explain what you love about your home.”

*I am the reader, remember that I have never been to your home, I don’t know what it looks like, what’s inside it, or anything about it! So you will have to try to include good descriptions of what you love about it so I can picture what you’re talking about in my head.

My example: I love my home because it has all of my favourite things in it. We chose each piece of furniture, chose the colours, chose where to put things, and have made it our own by changing the paint colour in some rooms and have been working in the garden! I love my home because I know Ollie is always there! I love my couch because it is big enough for us to sit with Ollie on it, and it has a big furry blanket that is super cozy when it’s cold outside. My home is comfortable and welcoming and I love that it has lots of windows so it gets lots of light from outside. I love that my home has lots of shelves for my books and that I have room for a desk to work at. I love that there is room for Ollie to play fetch inside if the weather’s really bad and we can’t go on a walk (he’s pretty small so it’s not hard to find a big enough space for him to play in) and I love that he finds little places to hide his treats!

Now I want you to try it, explain what you love about your home!

*Don’t forget to space out your words and to put in punctuation where it’s needed! 

Grade 1’s: Aim for 3 sentences! 

Grade 2’s: Aim for 4-5 sentences! 

Math-Word Problems

*Please remember to show your work for your answers. For example, instead of just writing the answer 39, write the full equation you use such as 48-9=39.

*If you do not have printer, feel free to pick a choose some to do, do not feel that you need to copy out all of the questions by hand!

Mother’s Day Card or Letter

Happy Mother's Day clip art | Happy mothers day clipart, Mothers ...

Our Mom’s do lots of amazing things! They are incredible and strong people who do whatever they can to help us! Mother’s Day is on Sunday May 10th and while you may do something special this day or if you spread it out and do special things for your mom every day, today I would like you to do one of the following:

-Make a card for your Mom. It doesn’t have to be anything super fancy, but of course, if you would like to make it fancy go for it! Make sure you write Mom, Mum or whatever you call her at the top. Write a message to her. Think about what she does for you, what you can say thank you for, why she is special to you, what you like to do with her…  Write who the card is from at the bottom! You can write From: or Love: …. Draw a picture and decorate!

-Write a letter to your Mom and write about what she means to you! Why is she special? What makes her a great mom? What do you love about her? What does she do that makes you happy?

Here are some stories that talk about the love between moms and their kids and how much they do for them to make sure they’re happy and looked after. 

Here is a video to listen to the book “Love You Forever” by Robert Munsch and Sheila McGraw, it’s a very powerful story about the love between a mother and her child: Read aloud

Here is another video to listen to the book “The Giving Tree” by Shel Silverstein. This book has many meanings and messages, but one message that you might take away from it is how much a mom gives to their child without thinking of themselves. Listen to the story and see what you think!  Video

*You do not need to submit a photo of your child’s card or letter for Mother’s Day as some kids like to keep it private because it’s so special!

Here is an example with some sentence starters if you need them!

To: Mom

Thank you for everything you do for me. I love that we…..

You are special to me because….

Happy Mother’s Day!

I love you.

Library Book Exchange-A Note to Parents

Dear Division 4 Families,

I have spoken to Ms. Solomon about running the book exchange for our class.  If you would like to participate, here are the steps:

  1. Go to the Library Catalogue to look up book titles that you may be interested in checking out (go to the school website, click “library” and then click “catalogue” or you can access the catalogue through this link 
  2. Email me what book titles you are looking to take out. Because Ms. Solomon is working to organize a book exchange for two schools and hundreds of students, we have decided that I will send in book requests twice a week on Mondays and Wednesdays. Every Monday and Wednesday I will send in a list of any students’ names/book titles to Ms. Solomon and then she will coordinate a pick up of the items outside the school. When you return the books they will be kept in plastic bags for 3 days before being re-shelved/made available to the next student. Pickup and Returns will take place at the same time.

*Please note each child can only have 5 books signed out at one time, however the 5 books can not be all the same type (i.e. 5 graphic novels).

Please note I will send in the first list by the end of today (3pm) if there are any book requests that are sent to me before then. I will send any orders received after that to Ms. Solomon on Monday.

If you have any questions, please let me know.

Ms. Chin

Writing-Using Words from our Word Wall

IMG_2607.jpgIMG_2606.jpg

Here is our word wall from our classroom. I have also put in a picture of our posters from our classroom which are reminders for punctuation.

For our writing today, please write a short story or beginning of a story which uses some of the words from our word wall. The goal is to use as many of these words as you can for inspiration and for parts of your story or introduction to a story, but a guideline is also listed below.

For example, I could start a story like I did below. I could easily continue this story because the reader is wondering where the story will go next. I used 4 words from our word wall and wrote 10 sentences!  I look forward to reading what you write! Remember punctuation and to try using different words. For example, instead of always using the word “said”, try using other words that add more to the story like “yelled” or “whispered” or “asked”.

Example: One day while drinking a cup of coffee and eating scrambled eggs, I looked out the window and saw someone walk through my backyard. I didn’t know who this person was, so I jumped out of my chair to see if I could get a better look. I watched them for a minute and I saw them take a shovel our of their backpack and saw then start to dig a hole in my garden. I kept watching them and saw them slowly place something into the hole they dug, cover it up, and then they walked away. It was very mysterious! I walked outside after they left, and went to the hole. I got out a shovel of my own and started digging. Soon I hit something hard in the dirt! I moved the dirt away with my hands and instead of treasure I found a mysterious box. I opened up the box and pulled out what was in it. It was a …….

 

Grade 1’s: please aim for 2-3 sentences. Please try to use 2 of the words from our word wall! See if you can do more!

Grade 2’s: please aim for 4-5 sentences, or more! Please try to use 3 of the words from our word wall! See if you can do more!
