Unit of Inquiry
Today
we focused on the three states of matter that we will be discussing this unit –
liquid, solid, and gas. We created definitions and gave examples of each state.
We drew pictures to go along with our examples. Then we completed a worksheet,
where we had to circle the correct example of each state of matter.
Homework
Writing out our definitions and examples!
Our finished product!
Working with our table groups!
Inquiry into
Mathematics
Today
we read and wrote whole numbers in expanded form, standard form, and
number-word form. For example, 3,961 is already in standard form. Expanded form would be 3,000 + 900 + 60 + 1 and number-word form would be 3 thousand,
961. We also realized that when using a place value chart, each group of three
place values is called a period.
With in each period the digits of a number are read as hundred, tens, and ones. We also

Points to Remember
Multiplication
and division strategies - For example, for multiplication 100 x 10 = 1,000 (we
multiply 1 x 1 to get 1 and then add 3 zeros – 2 in 100 and 1 in 10 = 1,000)
and for division 1,000,000/100,000 = 10 (1/1 = 1 and then we took away 5 zeros
from 100,000 and 5 zeros from 1,000,000 which left us with 10).
Homework
- MMS pg 14-15
Just a little in-class house competition!
Inquiry into Language

we continued our chapter 1 comprehension questions. We also received our login information for Typing Club. We enjoyed a few minutes working on our typing skills. Some students had difficulty logging on to the wifi so hopefully that will not be a problem next time.
