Unit of Inquiry
Today
we continued looking at the Romans. We discussed education, the Roman calendar
and sports and entertainment.
HOMEWORK
-Complete
Food and Cooking activity and The City of Rome activity (research based)
Inquiry into
Mathematics
Today
we examined how to find the volume of a rectangular prism. Volume = number of cubes in each layer x number of layers. The
number of cubes is length x width and the number of layers is the height, so
our formula to find the volume is l x w
x h. When finding the volume we use units cubed (cm cubed, m cubed, etc.).
Points to remember:
When
using a 24-hour notation, 12:00 AM
(midnight) to 12:00 PM (noon) stays the same, but after 12:00 PM it goes to
13:00 for 1:00, 14:00 for 2:00, etc.
1:00
PM – 13:00
2:00
PM – 14:00
3:00
PM – 15:00
4:00
PM - 16:00
5:00
PM = 17:00
6:00
PM = 18:00
7:00
PM – 19:00
8:00
PM – 20:00
9:00
PM – 21:00
10:00
PM – 22:00
11:00
PM – 23:00
12:00
PM – 00:00
Then
we start back at 1:00 AM.
12:00-
11:59 AM is from midnight to noon and 12:00 – 11:59 (12:00-24:00) PM is from
noon to midnight.
Rounding rules – 0 – 4 round down
-
5 – 9 round up
Friendly numbers (a way
to round or estimate) - $423.99 would round to $400.00 and $789. 11 would round
to $800.00.
Standard amount (eight hundred twenty-two dollars = $822)
Written form ($745.50 = seven hundred forty-five dollars
and 50 cents). We also counted money. Remember what each coin and bill are
worth!
To find
the surface area of a rectangular prism, multiply each face - length x width (l x w), then add the total
area. For rectangular prisms that are congruent (all sides are equal), find the area of all three sides, add them
together and then multiply by 2. For example, a rectangular prism with the
sides 7 cm height, 15 cm length, and 10 cm width – find the area of front face,
15 x 7 = 105, then find the area of the side face, 10 x 7 = 70, then find the
area of the top face, 15 x 10 = 150. Then add up those totals – 105 + 70 + 150
= 325 x 2 = 650 cm squared. When finding the surface area we use units squared (cm
squared, m squared, etc.).

Inquiry into Language
Today
we began spelling lesson #8 – vowel pairs ee and ea, vowel digraphs ea and
words with gn, wr, tch. We also visited our reading buddies! Monday we will complete our OWA post-assessment.
HOMEWORK
-Finish
spelling lesson #8
Have
a wonderful weekend!
Love
Mrs. Hocevar
