a) Use tallies to show the number 2134 in our chart
b) Add onto our tallies to show the number 1451
c) Count up the tallies in each section of our chart to find our answer
So our answer would be 3585
The one thing we need to keep in mind is regrouping. If we have 10 or more tallies in any section of our chart we will need to regroup. To do this we would circle the ten tallies and put one new tally in the proper section of the chart and then cross out our group of ten. For example if I had ten tallies in my hundreds section I would circle those ten and because 10 hundreds makes 1000 I would add a tally in my thousands section and then cross of the tallies in my hundreds section. For example:
1234 + 1978
So the answer would be 3212.
The other strategy we learned was drawing base ten blocks. Again we would start by drawing out the blocks that would make up one number and then add on the blocks that make up the other number and then count them up.
We also talked about word problems today and how there will be key words that should give us an "ah ha" moment that tell us we need to add. Some of the key words for addition include:
- total
-sum
- altogether
- combined
- plus
We will be having a review quiz tomorrow to show what we know about addition.
We were given 11 spelling words today that relate to homophones. We will be having a test on Friday. Please make sure you practice not only how to spell the word but how to use the word properly in a sentence! There are example sentences in brackets next to our spelling words.
1) their (Their house is red.)
2) there (Please go sit over there.)
3) they're (They're going to the hockey game tonight.) Remember this means "they are"
4) where (Where are you going on vacation?)
5) wear (I like to wear a scarf when it is cold.)
6) were (What were you going to do outside?)
7) to (I like to sleep in on the weekend.)
8) two (She ate two pieces of pizza for dinner.)
9) too (I love Harry Potter too!)
10) some (Some of us are going to play at recess.)
11) sum (What is the sum of 2 + 2?)
In science, we did a reflection on our instruments we built on Friday. We had to think about any changes we would have made as well as how we could have improved the sound of our music and make our instrument realistic. We will be given a chance to perform tomorrow and then some instruments will be coming home.
We talked today about the artifacts we were asked to bring in that represent our family's culture. We talked about how culture is the beliefs, customs, art, language, food, dress etc of a group of people. Ms. Binks would like us to think about our family history and the places our family came from. For example if we weren't born in Canada, or our parents were born somewhere else, or their parents were born somewhere else or their parents somewhere else... do we have items from that country we could bring in and talk about. Some examples of artifacts that have been brought in include:
- A Chinese red envelope
- Shoes from the Netherlands
- A recipe from Scotland
If there is no family history or traditions tied to another country, please feel free to bring in something that is special to your family and your family culture. If you have any questions please let Ms. Binks know. Any items that have been brought in, or will be brought in are going to be kept locked up and safe. Please try and bring in your items tomorrow or throughout the rest of the week.
Reminders:
- We have library tomorrow. Please make sure you bring back your books!
- Fun lunch Thursday
- School dance is Thursday night
