-Summative test tomorrow on multiplying and dividing fractions.
-Students should be doing their online Mathletics homework at home. Students may work on these assignments when they have extra time at school, but the expectation is that they are reviewing at home. There is a practice test that students may use to study.
-Today we reviewed our word problems. We also did a group review for the test next Wednesday. Please see notes attached.
-Monday we will have a formative test. This is a practice test to help students realize what they still need to review. Summative test that counts for the report card will be Wednesday.
-This week students should be <<doing>> their project and recording their observations and data. Remember to take pictures, videos, write in a journal, draw sketches of designs, and record data in a table.
-In class today we reviewed some different types of graphs. We had a discussion about what graphs can be used for certain data. Which graphs work well for certain types of projects. Graphing is a big part of the grade 6 Math and science curriculum. Students should be able to draw graphs, and be able to answer questions from a graph. I gave a packet of practice questions that we will work on over the next few science classes. Most projects should include a graph.
-Today we went over our optics notes and reviewed from our last two labs.
-We went over the importance of picking the right graph for each project. Students were given some graphing practice. This should be a review. It is important that students know if their data is discrete or continuous as this determines if points should be joined on a graph.
