Multiples, Terry Fox and Transportation!


Hello!

Welcome back to our divisional choir singers! It was nice to be a full group again this morning!

We continue to work on multiples in Math, and practised counting by 12, 13 and 15 this morning. We also looked at a group of 8 different numbers and, using our multiples rules, decided what digits they were multiples of. 828 'won' by being the number that belonged to the most groups. 828 is a multiple of 2,3,4,6 and 9! Wow!

In Français we read with our partners for LaLaLa and continued reading our article about Terry Fox. Did you know that Terry ran 42 kilometres a day, and ran a total 5 373 km as part of his Marathon of Hope? Terry's dream was for each Canadian to give $1 for cancer research, which would raise 22 million dollars. His Marathon of Hope raised 24.17 million dollars!

In Science, we worked as a class to sort a group of common items (modes of transportation). We had to ask a specific question that would divide themes of transportation into 2 subgroups. We started by asking if the modes had wheels. From there we were able to divide each of the subgroups into 2 more subgroups by asking another specific question. Are the modes human-powered or powered by a motor? Are the vehicles used on water or land? We will continue dividing the groups until they are in smallest subgroups possible.


Have a great afternoon!
Looking forward to a fun-filled Terry Fox Friday! :)
