Some reminders for the rest of the week. Tomorrow is the Terry Fox run. ALL students are asked to come in their gym clothes for the day. On Friday, is orange shirt day. Please wear an orange shirt to recognize the children that were forced to attend residential schools (Every Child Matters).

Next Week is the first Grade 5 extra curricular activity. The Grade 5s will be attending the golf range on Tuesday, October 2.
I would like to apologize as I did not get a chance to take many pictures today, as we were busy bees working away on International day and our study guide.
To start our day after announcements we watched a video about Terry Fox for our run tomorrow. Lets hope the rain holds out. Then we had Music with Mr. Oliver and French with Mme. Rawan
Inquiry into Math
Today we learned to divid by a 2-digit number. Please see pictures below. We also worked on pg. 70, questions 1ef, 2ab and 3. Math Lesson 11 is for homework. Please remember our Unit 2 Math test is Monday, Oct 1. We start our review tomorrow
Math Textbook
Dividing by a 2-digit number with no remainder
To see if our answer is correct we would use the opposite of division (multiplication)
15x25=375
Dividing a 2-digit number with remainders
To see if our answer is correct we would use the opposite of division (multiplication)
13 x 186 = 2418 and the add our remainder of 3. So, 2418 + 3 =2421

Multiplication and Division Resources
Standard form - simply put it is the number – 3, 258, 111.
Number written form is writing the number using both numbers and words (3 million, 2 hundred 58 thousand, 111).
Expanded form is when we take the number and break it down (3, 258, 111 = 3,000,000 + 200,000 + 50,000 + 8,000 + 100 + 10 + 1) – we take each digit and then add zeros!
When using < and > signs, the alligator mouth eats the bigger number.
Multiples of 2 are: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20.
Common multiples are numbers that are the same in two or more different multiples. For example, the common multiples from the list above are 6, 12, 18. Those 3 numbers appear in both lists of multiples (2 and 3).
In a multiplication question, the numbers that form the product (answer) are known as factors. In the example, 2 x 3 = 6, 2 and 3 are the factors.
A prime number has exactly two factors, 1 and itself. For example, 3 and 7 are prime numbers (1 x 3 = 3 and 1 x 7 = 7). There are no other numbers that you can multiply to get 3 or 7.
A composite number has more than two factors. For example, 4 and 8 (1x4 and 2x2 = 4 and 1x8 and 2x4 = 8).
Compatible numbers are numbers that are easy to compute. For example, 60 + 35 + 40. If you switch around the 35 and 40 to make the question read 60 + 40 + 35, it makes it easy to mentally add - 60 + 40 = 100 + 35 = 135. We can also use compatible numbers when multiplying. For example, 4 x 19 x 25. If you switch around the 19 and 25 it makes it easier to multiply – 4 x 25 x 19 = 100 x 19 = 1900 (remember to use another strategy to multiply 19 x 100 – 19 x 1 = 19 then add the 2 zeros to get1900).
PEMDAS - Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally.
P – first solve anything that is in a parenthesis (*).
E – next solve anything that has an exponent – we will not be working with exponents!
M and D – do all multiplication and division in order form left to right
A and S- do all addition and subtraction in order from left to right
Please see examples: 16 – 14/2 = 16 – 7 = 9 (I solved the division part 14/2 first, then the subtracted that number, 7, from 16.
7 x (4 + 8) = 7 x 12 = 84 (I solved the parenthesis first (4 x 8), then multiplied that number by 7.
9 +3 x 6 – 4 = 9 + 18 – 4= 27 – 4 = 23 (I solved the multiplication first (3 x 6 = 18), then added 9 to 18 = 27, and finally subtracted 4.
When adding remember to begin with the numbers in the ones column of the place value chart and to regroup in the tens column if necessary. Then we move to the tens column and hundreds column. If adding all 4 numbers together is too much, add the first two numbers, then the last two numbers, and then add the total from each together. When subtracting, remember to begin at the ones column in the place value and to regroup/take from the next place value column when necessary. To double-check your answer, add the answer you got to the second set of numbers (inverse operation). It should equal the first set of numbers in your subtraction sentence.
Following recess and lunch, we had gym with Mr. Orr
Inquiry into Language
Today we continued working on our Italy International Day project. Percy Jackson will be put on hold in class for the next few weeks, due to International Day. Please see below the groups and topics. Parents and families are welcome to join us on Thursday, October 4th from 2:30-3:15. Any French food donations would be greatly appreciated!! **This is an in-class project, where work is to be done in class only.**
Groups for International Day
Music and Dress – Sophia. P, Shane
Unit of Inquiry
Today we worked on the Matter Unit Study Guide questions. This allowed students to use their knowledge about Matter that we used thus far. We will take up the answers tomorrow.
Our What’s the Matter summative is fast approaching. This summative will be their science fair project and it must relate to matter. An outline with due dates and a rubric will be sent home sometime over the next few weeks – the Grade 5 team are still finalizing the details. The due date for this summative will be Thursday, October 18th with in-class presentations happening then and on Friday, October 19th. Please note that students will be required to show their display again during our SJA Science Fair, which takes place on Friday, November 16th
