Welcome to Mr. Baker's Math and Science Home Page
It is hard to believe the year is coming to an end so quickly. With only a week left students are still working hard to engage in numerous activities. Many of the challenges they are facing are set at a Grade 5 level!
Students have learned many new concepts, procedures and skills. Throughout the year, students have been working on increasing their mental math strategies and how to engage in multi-step math problems with persistence. Students also started to see the benefit of using scientific reasoning while designing, building and modifying a variety of creations. All of these ideas are life skills that need continual practice and exploration. I hope everyone has a fantastic summer full of many adventures outdoors and in new locations. During these adventures, keep open a keen eye for connections to mathematical and scientific concepts that you learned at school. As we discussed, the connections are everywhere. The pool, zoo, science center, park almost anywhere. As you explore make sure to practice your mental math facts, computation procedures and engage in some math/science/logic puzzles to refine your skills before Grade 5. Wishing everyone a happy summer and enjoy the break.
