We have started learning new mental math strategies for subtraction questions. Our current strategy - for subtraction questions that do not require regrouping - has us subtracting from left to right, starting with the largest place value, where we would normally default to subtracting from right to left, starting with the 'ones'.
We continue to work with positive and negative integers (les nombres entiers) and have started to compare positive and negative integers as well as determine the distance between a set of integers using a number line. HERE is a video, all about positive and negative integers, that we watched in class earlier this week.
Science
We completed the first test of Expérience #1 in class today. We will repeat the experiment again tomorrow and compare the results with what we recorded today. If the results are similar, we will average the times and graph the results. If the times are quite different, we will repeat the experiment a third (and possibly fourth) time to gain an accurate set of data.
Français
We read the article "L'origine de la Saint-Valetin" in class today. After listening to Mme read the article aloud, we re-read the article in our table groups and identified new vocabulary words we found challenging. We then worked in our table groups to begin writing a summary (resumé) of the article using the "Résumer" sentence starters from our "4 fantastiques" cards. The goal of this summary is to share the important facts/information of what we read in order. Each group is writing their article summary on chart paper and will then share their writing with the class.
