Today in language we prepared for our student-led conferences and the in class spelling-bee which will be taking place on Thursday. We also did our OWA (Ontario Writing Assessment) pre-assessment today. This term we are learning how to write an information report.

Inquiry into Mathematics
Today we looked at estimating percents. Remember when we think of percent, we need to think ‘out of 100.’ Here is an example –> Sylvie has a collection of 197 sports bobble heads. About 25 percent of them are hockey players. Estimate the number of hockey players.
Step 1) Round 197 to 200.
Step 2) Find 25 percent of 200.
Step 3) Find an equivalent fraction with the denominator 200…25/100 = 50/200 (25 x 2 and 100 x 2). Therefore, 25 percent of 200 is 50.
->Of the 30 students in Larry’s class, 14 of them take the bus. Estimate the percent of the students who take the school bus.
Step 1) Round 14 to 15, which is ½ of 30. Therefore 14 is almost ½ of 30.
Step 2) ½ = 50/100 (percent is out of 100 – 2 x 50 and 1 x 50)
So, almost 50 percent of the students take the bus.
Unit of Inquiry
Today in UOI we learned about invertebrates and arthropods. As a class we read about both invertebrates and arthropods. Then, in table groups students classified invertebrates using their activities sheets. We will classify vertebrates later this week.
