Order of Operations worksheetsUse SHIFT+ENTER to open the menu (new window).
Two double sided worksheets were given to review the concept of BEDMAS used when solving equations with multiple operations.
 
We will mark them on Monday
11/21/2012
Number Operations TestUse SHIFT+ENTER to open the menu (new window).
Students need to prepare for a test on addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division with decimals. Students will also be asked to estimate by rounding for each question so they can effectively place the decimal and check to see that the answer they get is in the "ballpark".
 
Each question will have three marks - one for the correct answer, one for correct decimal placement, and one for the estimate.
 
Students can prepare by completing practice work in their JumpMath books. Use the index of the book to help parents locate specific pages that apply.
 
If your child is finding the concepts difficult, visit khanacademy.org and you will find excellent videos to help.

Multiplication StrategiesUse SHIFT+ENTER to open the menu (new window).
Students watched three different videos on multiplication strategies where two digit by two digit numbers were multiplied to find the product. Each video had a different approach to solve the problem. Students were asked to solve the problem, 23 x 24, using each strategy to familiarize themselves with them.
 
See the attachment for the video links.
 
Task:
 
Students are asked to solve 35 x 25 by using each strategy. Then, students need to pick which strategy they would use if they had no other method for doing the operation and explain in detail why they chose the strategy they did.

Sediments LabUse SHIFT+ENTER to open the menu (new window).
Students illustrated the contents of a glass beaker on three occasions - before mixing, after mixing, and after settling overnight, to see how sediments settle out when carried by water. The purpose was to replicate the formation of sedimentary rock, minus the 1000 years. Students were responsible for typing out a formal lab with a purpose, hypothesis, materials list, procedure, observations including illustrations, and conclusion questions that are linked to observations. Conclusion questions were as follows: 1. Looking at the contents of the glass beaker, what does it tell you about sedimentary rock? 2. Why did the sediments in the glass beaker settle out the way they did? 3. How might the materials have settled out differently if they were not constrained by the glass beaker? I am looking for a formal, well laid out lab that possesses all the essential elements of an experiement

Earth's Crust TestUse SHIFT+ENTER to open the menu (new window).
Students need to prepare for the upcoming test on the Earth's Crust. Students need to study the following:
  • Structure of the Earth and it's layers in detail, including the significance of convection currents in the upper mantle
  • Wegener's theory of Continental Drift and Pangaea, including support for his theory
  • Plate tectonics - what allowed a new theory to develop and what is the theory about
  • Plate boundaries Map - where are most earthquakes and volcanoes located and why
  • Plate boundaries worksheets - specific information about three different boundary types - convergent, divergent, transform fault, and locations on the Earth where they can be found

See attached worksheets and textbook pages from the classroom documents section of my website

Plate Boundaries MapUse SHIFT+ENTER to open the menu (new window).
Students were asked to map divergent and convergent plate boundaries on the world map. Using the Science Probe 7 textbook, students had to draw in the convergent boundaries in red and the divergent boundaries in yellow. After mapping plate boundaries, students were asked to label major historical earthquakes and locations of significant volcanoes, some historical and some currently active.
 
Map should have a fine-lined legend, effective title, compass rose or north arrow, land coloured green, water shaded blue, and labelled boundaries, earthquakes, and volcanoes.
 
Refer to classroom documents in earth's crust folder for more information
