Regrouping and Adding

Hello,

This morning, in Math, we continued to work on regrouping numbers, examining the relationship between ones, tens and hundreds, as well as dollars, dimes and pennies (no longer used, but the same relationship as ones, tens and hundreds, so still useful). Then we looked at adding two digit numbers and regrouping. We examined how you can start at the ones or the tens and the different steps needed for each strategy.

   1
   45
+ 18
______  

   63

or 40 + 10 = 50 and 5 + 8 = 13, then 50 + 13 = 63

The students are expected to complete advanced regrouping (p. 58) for homework.

In Language, we continued to work on our recounts, adding our second and third main points and examples to the paragraph. Then we added more frames to our recount comic strips on the bitstrips site.

Next, in Science, we looked at how different shapes can be used to create patterns in construction and looked at the history of the pyramids.

Finally, in the gym we played an exciting game of "Ship Ahoy", a cooperative game which involves listening, running, fitness activities and teamwork skills.

Have a good evening.

Mr. Skinner
