We are starting on Time this week. So, if you didn't make yourself a Pie Plate Clock yet, please look at Wednesday's post from last week to get yourself prepped and ready!
I had provided the following two books for students to read to help them with this unit:
Time - A nice summary of what they have learned in grade ⅔ - Click here
Measuring Time with a Clock - This one gets more into some of the concepts that are covered in grade 4 and is a nice introduction to what learning we will be doing - Click here
As many students have not logged into Epic, you are already missing this base instruction. Please ensure you have read the two books posted up above before you continue on!
Your new Math Booklet is posted on Google Classroom This can be completed over the next week at their own pace. Here is the accompanying Math Slideshow to go with this weeks math lessons!
Please refer to the videos as necessary, you should not watch them all in one go. Please watch a section such as the five-minute intervals (it's highlighted on the slides with titles) and complete the work in your math booklet that has to do with those slides. Go back to slides and watch the next section, then return to your booklet.
