Numeracy and Science Objectives (02/08 – 02/12)

NUMERACY

Numeracy

Learning objectives:

  1. Compare and order fractions and mixed numbers, with and without models;
  2. Represent equivalent fractions; and
  3. Identify the division statement that represents a fraction, with models and in context.

Focus in class:

  • Equivalent fractions
  • Comparing fractions
  • Ordering fractions

SCIENCE

Learning objectives:

The student will investigate and understand that weather conditions and phenomena affect ecosystems and can be predicted. Key ideas include:

  1. Weather measurements create a record that can be used to make weather predictions;
  2. Common and extreme weather events affect ecosystems; and
  3. Long term seasonal weather trends determine the climate of a region.

Focus in class:
