This week in Mathematics:
We have begun our first unit, Probability and Statistics. Students are exploring the vocabulary relating to accurately describing the probability of various outcomes. |
* Students who have struggled in the past with basic facts should be reviewing on a regular basis at home. A great place to start would be accessing the Math Antics Review Videos linked below or playing Greg Tran Math games, also linked below. *

GENERAL OUTCOME: Numbers
Develop Number Sense
I can describe the meaning of each digit in a given number.
I can use many different estimating strategies.
I can use mental mathematics strategies and number properties to solve problems for basic multiplication and division facts to 81.
I can use mental mathematical strategies for multiplication.
I can create a set of equivalent fractions and explain why there are many equivalent fractions for any given fraction.
I can represent using concrete materials or pictures.
I can connect decimals to fractions and fractions to decimals.
I can solve a problem that involves adding and subtracting of decimals.
Important to know or do:
Demonstrate, with and without concrete materials, an understanding of multiplication (2-digit by 2-digit) to solve problems
Demonstrate, with or without concrete materials, an understanding of division (1-diti by 1-digit) and interpret remainders to solve problems
Compare and order decimals to the thousandths by using benchmarks, place value and equivalent decimals
GENERAL OUTCOME: Patterns and Relations
Represent algebraic expressions in multiple ways
I can identify the unknown in a problem, represent it with an equation and solve it using diagrams and symbols.
Important to know or do:
Determine the pattern rule to make predictions about subsequent elements
Express a given problem as an equation in which a letter variable is used to represent an unknown number limited to whole numbers
GENERAL OUTCOME: Shape and Space
Use direct and indirect measurement to solve problems
I can give examples of when millimetres are used as units of measure.
I can identify the cube as the most efficient unit for measuring volume and explain why.
I can describe the capacity of a given referent.
I can predict the result of a single transformation of a 2-D shape and verify the prediction.
Important to know or do:
Identify 90 degree angles
Design and construct different rectangles, given either perimeter or area or both (whole numbers) and make generalizations
Describe and provide examples of edges and faces of 3-D objects and sides of 2-D shapes that are parallel, intersecting, perpendicular, vertical and horizontal
Identify and translate a single transformation including a translation, rotation and reflection of 2-D shapes
Worth being familiar with:
Identify and sort quadrilaterals including rectangles, squares, trapezoids, parallelograms, rhombuses according to their attributes
GENERAL OUTCOME: Statistics and Probability
Collect, display and analyze data to solve problems
I can explain the difference between first-hand and second-hand data
I can provide examples of events that are impossible, possible or certain
Important to know or do:
Construct and interpret double bar graphs to draw conclusions
Worth being familiar with:
Compare the likelihood of two possible outcomes occurring, using words like: less likely, equally likely and more likely
