Numeracy and Science Objectives (12/07 – 12/11)

NUMERACY

Learning Objectives:
  • Estimate and determine sums, differences, and products of whole numbers
  • Estimate and determine quotients of whole numbers, with and without remainders
Focus in class:
  • Multiplication of whole numbers (3 digit by 2 digit)
  • Long division (1 digit divisor)
  • Layout of work

SCIENCE

Learning Objectives: Students will investigate and understand that organisms, including humans, interact with one another and with the nonliving components in the ecosystem. Key ideas include:
  1. interrelationships exist in populations, communities, and ecosystems;
  2. food webs show the flow of energy within an ecosystem;
  3. changes in an organism’s niche and habitat may occur at various stages in its life cycle; and
  4. classification can be used to identify organisms.
Focus in class:
  • Food Chains and Food Webs
  • Producers and Consumers (Herbivores / Omnivores / Carnivores)
