​

  • Silent Reading 30-40 minutes 

    • If you have not been keeping up with "Touching Spirit Bear", please use this time to catch up with the reading (Ch-5) and questions. Please see last week's page for the PDF If you are all caught up, then you may read from a book of your choice. Happy reading : )​

    • * Note Chapter 5 Question #3 asks you to look at page 46 for the answer however you will find it on page 30 instead. Some page numbers are off on the PDF version.**

Math

  • Perimeter- Watch the introduction video. Pause and re-watch if needed. -->

  • The perimeter of a shape or object is really just the distance around that shape or object. We measure perimeter in "units". That means we can be looking at cm, m, km, etc. We must be sure to label with the units so that we know what we're talking about. For example. If I was asked to calculate the perimeter (or the distance around)  a square with the length of 2cm, I would be able to figure out the answer. We know that a square has 4 equal sides. We were told that the length of one side is 2 cm. Therefore--> 2cm + 2cm + 2cm + 2cm = 4cm. If I wrote the answer as 4, it would only be partially right. You would ask yourself, 4 what? 4 miles? 4 kilometers? 4 centimeters? 

  • What is the perimeter of this rectangle below? Remember perimeter is the distance around the object. (add up all the sides)

                                      6 cm

           2 cm                                                 2 cm                             Perimeter = 6 + 6 + 2 +2 = 16 cm (Don't forget to put the units back in!)

 

                                  6 cm

​

  • Try some on your own to get warmed up! Complete the worksheet. Check your answers once you're finished. Go back and check the ones that you get wrong. Email/website chat with any questions! 

  • I you're finished everything (including science fair) and want some more math, play Prodigy Math.

 

Science

  • Science Fair- Finish up any last minute touches, and send it in today! 

  • Present your project to a family member at home : )

​

​

Wednesday, April 15th  - Good morning!  : D

- Thank you to everyone who sent in their Science Fair projects! I look forward to seeing all of your presentations and reading your papers. 

- Please see below for today's work. Start off with Math **

ELA​​

  • Spelling - Spend about 30 minutes working through your Spelling Week 22 booklet. 

  • Novel Study (yesterday and today) - Continue reading "Touching Spirit Bear". We are now reading Chapter 6. Spend today and tomorrow reading chapter 6 and answering the Chapter questions for that chapter. * Note Chapter 5 Question #3 asks you to look at page 46 for the answer however you will find it on page 30 instead. Some page numbers are off on the PDF version.**

​

Math 

  • Perimeter -  Today we will continue learning about how to find the perimeter for different shapes and objects.

  • Perimeter worksheets- Complete the two worksheets. In the first one you must find the perimeter for the triangles. 

    • Remember : Perimeter means the distance or length around an object. So, if we are calculating the perimeter of a triangle, then what do we do? I bet you know! That's right, we just add up all 3 sides of triangle to get the perimeter. ​

    • Example: The perimeter of the triangle is equal to the length of all 3 sides. OR perimeter = S + S + S   (where S means Side and P is perimeter).

                                     7 mm​             7mm          P = 7 + 7 + 3 = 17   ** Don't forget to add your UNITS, which in this case is mm (millimeters)

                                                                                             The perimeter of this triangle is equal to 17 mm.

                                                    3 mm

​​

  • ​For the second worksheet,​ you must find the perimeter for the rectangles. Now, you'll see that some of the sides are missing. 

    • For example: ​​              6 cm                               We know that P = S + S + S +S     (because there are 4 sides of a rectangle)​​. 

                       2 cm                                                                  Another more common way we can talk about rectangles is using the                                                                                                                   words length and  width.  The length refers to the longer sides on the top and                                                                                                       bottom and width is referring to the two shorter sides on the ends. 

                                                        L (length)   

                 W (Width)                                                       W (Width)       We know that the 2 lengths are equal, and the 2 widths are equal.

                                                                                                                       Therefore, we only need the value of one side for length and one for 

                                                          L (length)                                           width.       

 Our equation for the perimeter of a rectangle can be written or thought of in 3 ways: 

  1.  P = S + S + S + S      ( side + side + side + side )                                   * All 3 ways will give you the same answer*

  2. P = L + L + W + W     (length  + length + Width + width)

  3. P = 2L + 2W               ( 2 x length  +  2 x width)

​

  • For the example above, let's find the perimeter of the rectangle. We were given the length of 6 cm and the width of 2 cm. 

    • Therefor, P = 6 + 6 + 2 + 2 = 16 cm .   OR  P = (2 x 6) + (2 x 2) = 16 cm

  • Now review these notes again, take a little snack or movement break and then try the worksheets below on your own. Check your answers once you're done to see how you did. Let me know if you get stuck : )

​

​

Thursday, April 16th   - Hello!  : D Please visit the home page for a few new updates regarding supply pick up and Camp info. Also, be sure to refresh the page throughout the day to get any new updates posted! - See below for today's work. 

ELA​​

  • Spelling - Finish you spelling work. Get someone to quiz you on the words. Practice the ones you get wrong by writing them out or putting them in sentences. 

  • Novel Study (from yesterday and tomorrow) - Continue reading "Touching Spirit Bear". We are now reading Chapter 6. Spend today and tomorrow reading chapter 6 and answering the Chapter questions for that chapter. * Note Chapter 5 Question #3 asks you to look at page 46 for the answer however you will find it on page 30 instead. Some page numbers are off on the PDF version.**

  • Reading Comprehension - Complete the following reading comprehension page. Check your answers once your're finished. Be sure to read the story more than once!

​

Math 

  • Area- When calculating the area of a shape or object, we are looking at how many square units cover the surface of a shape.  Or put another way- the amount of space in a flat shape. 

    • To find the area of a rectangle, you multiply the length times the width​

    • Therefore: A = L x W

    • For example: To find the area of the rectangle below, we multiply the length and the width 

                                       6 cm                                           A = L x W   --> A= 6 x 2 = 12 cm² .    (the little 2 at the top of the cm means squared)

                  2 cm                                                                 - The small 2 at the top of the cm means squared.  You always need to add that                                                                                            after your unit of measurement which in this case is centimeters. If it was mm, then                                                                                          your answer would be in mm². 

  • Watch the two videos below and then try the worksheet afterwards. Be sure to hit pause as you go, or re-watch if needed.

  • Spelling- review your spelling work if you finish your novel study early. Test yourself.

​

Math

  • Area​ and perimeter:  Review the area and perimeter videos and notes from earlier this week. Be sure to spend a little extra time going through the steps and understanding these new concepts.

    • Complete the area worksheet. Check your answers once you're done. Be sure to write out the formula ( A= L x W) and write out your steps for each questions​

​

  • Once you're done, come up with 5 of your own. Draw a picture of a rectangle, give it a length and width (don't forget the units) and then figure out both its area and perimeter.

    • See the example below:

                           10 cm                                         Perimeter = L + L + W + W               OR            Perimeter =  2L + 2W

                                                                                          P  = 10 + 10 + 5 +5 = 30cm                                    P = (2 x 10) + (2 x 5)

5 cm                                                                                                                                                                                  20 + 10 = 30 cm

​

                                                                                            Area = L x W

                                                                                                   A = 10 x 5 = 50 cm2

​

  • Challenge activity- Feeling pretty good about calculating area and perimeter and want a challenge?

    • find things around your house too that you can measure (use square or rectangular shapes)​

    • you might use things like a book, laundry basket, toaster, microwave, book, table etc. 

    • measure the object using a ruler or measuring tape. Make  a smaller version of the drawing onto a piece of paper, and then calculate the area and perimeter just like we did in the above example. Label your work to show which object you're drawing and calculating. 

    • * If you don't have a ruler or measure tape, then get creative and use something else to measure in different units. 

      • For example, you could use the length of a pen or pencil, paper clips, gummy b​​​ear, lego block etc., as long as you use the same thing to measure all parts of your object (length and width). 

        • You cannot measure the length using a pencil, and the width using a paper clip- the measurement would be off.​ Good luck!
