Weekly
Overview
August
30 - September 3
Math: Students
will practice comparing and ordering fractions, writing
decimals as fractions and fractions as decimals. We will
test on this on Wednesday. No use of calculators for this
assessment. In Connected Math, Data Around Us we will
revisit ways that numbers are used in measurement to describe
objects and events. We will begin to build a repertoire
of measurement benchmarks for use in relating measurement
information to things that are personally meaningful.
Science: We are still on target
to test on our science reinforcers by Wednesday . We will
finish discussing them by Tuesday. They will evaluate
our last class experiment using the Scientific Method.
Continuing our discussion of the ways scientists measure
and evaluate data, students will work with optical illusions,
how to use the metric system, reading graduated cylinders,
and measuring line segments.
