Thursday and Friday, February 2nd and 3rd

English Div 4 and 5: We read The Midwife's Apprentice. The question you were focusing on while reading was "how does the author use good word choices and sentence structure to enhance her writing?" This so that you can do the same with your writing.

S.S. Div 4: You went through a mapping review. The focus was mapping concepts like scale, mapping projections, direction, bias in mapping and grid systems. The lessons can be found under S.S. Unit 4, if you were missing.

Math Div 4: We continued to explore how to represent dividing fractions by whole numbers and whole numbers by fractions visually. Many of you began to see the algorithm. On Friday, we took notes on that algorithm. Next week will be dedicated to division practice followed by an overall unit review.

There is no homework for the weekend, but I recommend a general review of math concepts for the final fractions exam which is on Wednesday, February 15th (Topics covered so far include: comparing fractions using a number line, modelling and carrying out operations with fractions, adding and subtracting fractions, multiplying whole numbers and fractions, fractions and fractions, dividing whole numbers and fractions, fractions and whole numbers. Future topics include: dividing fractions by fractions, multiplying and dividing mixed numbers, order of operations with fractions and word problems with fractions).
