Wednesday Wonders

Hello Team 201 Families,

Today we...

• worked on finishing our Magic Squares. The final product will have 12 entries.
• read Wonder
• took the Chapter 5 Math test. Results are available on Think Central. 
• read about  Arctic and Antarctica and took notes
• worked on our Chapter 5 corrections

This evening at home...

• complete the Show What You Know for Chapter 6.  Challenge: write an equivalent fraction for each response on  the first page. 
• read Cold, Cold Science in Journeys.  Complete the Text To Text question on page 401.  Don't forget to cite evidence from both selections.

Math Test:

Many kids began working on corrections in class. I am urging students to take notes during the test. Think: What is this problem asking me to do? What is actually happening in this problem? Are there number relationships or compatible numbers involved?  Does my answer make sense?

Several students are writing the numbers, but are not using their reading skills to help them make sense of each problem.  Models, labels, and equations/calculations must be done on paper! 

All students are encouraged to do corrections. I will award partial credit.
