Daily Tasks: Thursday, 19th March – Numeracy and Science

Hello! Here is today’s daily tasks, essentially a lesson plan for the day.

Before you begin, read through these updates and reminders: Friday’s tasks for literacy and numeracy will be combined and continue to be, thank you for your patience as we found the best form of sending tasks. 

  1. Remember to email me work that is completed by the end of the day so it can be recorded. This can be a picture or scanned.
  2. Comprehensive list of sites and logins coming soon. For now, check the emails Ms. Nyyssonen has sent.
  3. Reminder: Please retrieve all your books from the classrooms, you still need: Bible, Bible workbook, Math Connects text book (in Mrs. Jorge’s classroom), Handwriting workbook, and any literacy book just in case they were left in your desk. Also, get any tools you’ll need for math, ruler, pencils, erasers etc. Take tools home so you can create a good set up at home and have all the supplies you need. Admin and office staff will be there 8-3pm Monday – Friday.
  4. 5A and 5B, Bible will begin on Monday. Please make sure you have your Bible workbook and Bible to be prepared.

Science update:

  1. DIY Instrument is due Wednesday, March 25th.  You will need to email a video (2-3 min tops) demonstrating the two pitches your instrument can make and share the materials you’ve used.
  2. There will be a quizizz on Sound next Wednesday, March 25th. I will send the code on the day.

Numeracy update:

  1. Quizizz on Time, Tuesday, March 24th 

Numeracy

Objective: Find elapsed time using addition and subtraction

Materials: Composition book, pencil, eraser

Similar to yesterday, you used the number line and able to count on to the next time using addition. You can do that again today and work it out on the page. This worksheet is just showing the beginning and end times without a number line. In many occasions when finding how much time has passed it’s not always the same, so that’s where you may have to use subtraction to find how many minutes or hours are remaining. 

Method 1: You can convert all the time into minutes, subtract and then convert back into hours and minutes. (Example: 1:30 – 2:45, convert 1 hour and 30 minutes = 90 minutes – 2 hour 45 minutes = 165 minutes; 165 – 90 = 75 minutes, then convert to hrs and min = 1 hr 15 min. Within 75 minutes is 60 and remaining 15.) 

Method 2: Use a number line to count up to the end time. (Example: 1:30 – 2:45) This can be done in hours and minutes. 

 

Method 3: Similar to counting on a number line, count to the nearest hour and then minutes. (Example: 1:30 – 2:45, I know that 1:30-2:30 is 1 hour, but my end time is 2:45, so I can count on from 30-45 which is 15 OR subtract. Either way the remaining time is 15 minutes. So the total time is 1 hour 15 minutes) 

Based on yesterday’s work you can begin asking yourself, ‘Was there anything that may have been confusing or you forgot about when finding elapsed time? What made me the most confused or unsure?’ Feel free to send me questions or concerns, I am happy to clarify the best that I can! As soon as you send me finished work I can mark it and send back to review.

  1. Use composition book
    • Title: Elapsed Time  and Date
    • Objective: Find elapsed time using addition and subtraction
    • Heading: Khan Academy Video Practice
    • Follow the video, pause when asked and in your composition book number your practice problems. Go along with the video to answer. Don’t worry if you’re wrong! It’s all about practice (:

Science

Activity 1:

Objective: Create a page on sound

Materials: Crayons, colored pencils – coloring tools

    • This is a drawing activity, like we’ve done for each topic.
    • Title it on the top of the page ‘Sound Energy’ and draw around it, make it colorful, fun, and creative. Anything that you know already that has to do with sound or objects that you use that make sound.
    • See the attachment, this is what you normally would have used but there was not enough time to print and send home, so feel free to copy this design or at least give you an idea of what to draw. Click ‘Sound’ for the sample sound . 

Activity 2:

Lesson 1 of sound

Objective: Write definitions for sound

Materials: Science composition book, Science textbook, pencil, eraser

  1. Next page
    • Title: Sound Definitions and date
    • Objective: Write definitions for sound
  2. Page 641, Write those four definitions into your composition book. Skip a line after each definition.
  3. Make a new heading – ‘Chapter 17, lesson 1 – Sound, page 651 #2, 3, 5, and 6’
  4.  Read through Chapter 17, lesson 1 on sound. Pages 644 – 650.
  5. Answer questions Under ‘Lesson Review’ on page 651 #2, 3, 5 and 6
