Tremendous Thursday!!!
We began the day writing a persuasive advertisement
for a pizza. We began the writing process by using a graphic organizer so that
we knew all the important considerations needed with our persuasive
advertisement.
Next we had French and then Gym.
After first recess we learned about Area
during math class. We looked at using grids to
find area. We looked at counting squares but this time they could be in
half which makes a triangle. So we used our prior knowledge to connect the fact
that two halves make a whole.
We discussed a few strategies to keep
track of our counting.
1. Count the whole squares
first.
2. We can number the squares as
we count them
3. Then count the half squares
and put a dot on them
OR
We can shade in the triangles first,
then count the whole squares then count the half squares.
Students worked on tracing shapes
onto grid paper and finding the area.
After second recess and lunch we
continued working on our graphic organizers for our new pizza. Some of us moved
onto writing the advertisement for our new pizza.
