math- mass and weight: compound units

Today in the video you will learn you can weigh objects in compound units, kilograms and grams. You will see examples of enlarged scales and discuss the value of each unlabeled mark. This video will help you understand how to read different weighing scales. Also, you will look at a balance scale instead of a weighing scale to measure the mass of an object.

Workbook p17

Visit Thinking Blocks to revisit bar modeling strategies. You can select a model to challenge yourself to different word problems. Read the word problems, label the bars, create the actual bar models and solve the problem.  This great website guides you and gives you hints along the way to be successful solving word problems by drawing a bar model .

Your small gesture will bring smiles to all those working hard to help others in need!  

Here’s how you can participate:

When completed, place it in a ziplock bag and drop your creation off at 51 Lawrence Road. There will be a donation bin located at the front door.

Ongoing Project – COVID-19 Time Capsule

One activity that many students completed during “Wellness Week” was a COVID – 19 Time Capsule. If you didn’t, here is a great opportunity to reflect over how this historical event is impacting you. We are living through history and during times like these, it might be interesting to take notes about your experience and reflect on what you are going through so that years from now, you can look back on this time capsule and realize you have experienced a very historic moment in our world’s history!
