Welcome to Mr. Baker's Math and Science Home Page
This week students have been starting to generate a holistic view of why plants are not only important to humans, but also animals and the world around us. Students brainstormed multiple reasons why plants are important in our lives. They then wrote a persuasive paragraph explaining what they believe is the most important reason we have plants in our community. Have your child explain their must important reason along with their supporting evidence.
Students also started planting their own bean seeds. Their goal is to care for a seed through the plant’s full life cycle until it creates another seed. This has been an important skill for generations and we hope we can be successful. These links will be useful for gaining more information about the life cycle of a bean plant: https://garden.lovetoknow.com/garden-basics/life-cycle-bean-plant https://biologywise.com/life-cycle-of-bean-plant In math, students completed a Shape check in, marks were posted on Powerschool. Students have also been working on mental math check ins where they need to verbally express their answers for a wide range of questions. Continuing to practice multiplication and division facts at home will support students to increase both their accuracy and efficiency. The higher times tables continue to be a struggle for many students. the 7, 8 and 9 times tables. Students started to work with 3 dimensional solids in class. They built solids, explored nets and learned the vocabulary of edges, faces and vertices. By using these links, students will gain more practice with each of these concepts. https://www.topmarks.co.uk/symmetry/symmetry-matching https://www.topmarks.co.uk/symmetry/symmetry-sorting https://mathsframe.co.uk/en/resources/resource/115/sorting_3d_shapes_on_a_venn_diagram# https://www.education.com/games/3d-shapes/
