Great thinking happening in Room 16 today… We have 19 students in our class. 3 are away. How many are here? How did you figure it out? P said 16…when I count by threes I go 3, 6, 9…so I thought 9, 6, 3…19, 16.

We started today’s math class with a question to get us thinking…Can a half be big? Here’s what some of us had to say… Yes, our whiteboard is big. That line cuts it in half. That half is big. Yes, half of my TV is big. If the thing you start with is big, the half will be big.

Thanks wouldyourathermath.com Here’s what we said… left: J - 7 pieces are more than 5 M - saves time you can eat it faster right: S - there is more (5 vs 3 1/2) L - if you cut them in half you would have 10 pieces

Here is what we know about measurement…

After reading “I’m the Biggest Thing in the Ocean” we found 5 objects and ordered them from shortest to tallest.

Measurement Minds On…What can you measure?

We explored area of a book today. First job…find the area of a book cover. Second job…find a book with an area that is a little smaller. Third job…find a book with an area in between your two findings.

Yousuf ordered his 6 objects from heaviest to lightest.

Asmu and Clyde documented their math findings.

Determining which 3D figure holds more…and having lots of fun with the sand!!!

The barn has been popular this week…

Started our Local Community unit with a knowledge building circle and this book. Students talked about communities having fun places, shared places, places that keep us healthy, people helping each other, everyone belongs, different religions…

Practicing using probability language ahead of our field trip. It is impossible for the ION to leave the tracks and drive on the road. It’s certain I don’t have to buckle up on the ION. It’s possible the ION will honk its horn.

So many people to thank at the end of the school year! A big THANK YOU to the students and families from Room 16. You have so many things to be proud of this year! Have a great summer! I will see you in September! 💜💛🦁💛💜
