Short, but busy week (+ new Math unit)

It sounds as though most people had an enjoyable March Break. The students were asked to prepare a brief talk and shared their experiences either today or will present tomorrow. Most have organized their thoughts and described their ideas much better than earlier in the year, and their comfort level speaking in front of others has also shown increased confidence.

In Math, we've reviewed what we can remember about decimals from previous years and started practising skills that involve decimals that include thousandths (3 numbers to the right of the decimal point). Students will be expected to represent, order, and compare decimal numbers. Next, they will add, subtract, multiply, and divide numbers involving decimals.

Add & Subtract: decimal numbers to thousandths
Multiply & Divide: decimal numbers to tenths by whole numbers
Multiply: whole numbers by 0.1, 0.01, and 0.001
Multiply & Divide: decimal numbers by 10, 100, 1000, and 10 000 using mental strategies

Remember the old saying... "Practice makes perfect!"
