Tremendous
Tuesday!
We began the day
having art with Mr. Monaghan and physical education with Ms. Lovan.
When students
returned, we began subtraction with two digit numbers using a place value mat.
We first did a
question as a class: “Lizzie has 55 comic books. She gives 14 of them to her
cousin, and keeps the rest. How many comic books does she have now?”
We began with 55
comic books; we put 5 ten sticks in the 10s column and 5 ones in the 1s column.
Next, we need to take 14 away.
When we subtract,
writing down the number helps us to see how many 10’s and 1’s we are removing.
We removed one 10 and placed it beside the one ten at the bottom and took away
four 1’s and placed them beside the four at the bottom. We can still see the
original 55 and the answer 41 is also clear. Students then worked on a similar
problem in their math books using cubes and a place value mat in order to
practice taking from then tens column and giving to the ones column in order to
subtract. Then students worked on page 166.
During UOI,
students finished working on their country brochures that they will be
presenting tomorrow.
After first recess
and lunch, students had French. When students returned they wrote their
homework in their agendas and then practiced their UOI presentations in
partners:
At the end of the
day, students worked on the good copies of their explanations for their
monsters and then made them out of construction paper. After, students built
stamina for work on writing. Students kept writing for 10 whole minutes without
any distractions. Great job friends!!
