Learning Outcomes

Describe and apply mental mathematic strategies to determine basic multiplication facts to 9 x 9

Demonstrate an understanding of multiplication (2 or 3 digit by 1 digit) to solve problems by:

-using personal strategies for multiplication with and without concrete materials 

-using arrays to represent multiplication

-connecting concrete representations to symbolic representations

What Did Students Do?

Students represented multiplication in various ways using concrete materials.  They then recorded ways to represent multiplication in their journals.  Students were engaged in activities learning to multiply both single digits, as well a two or three digits by one digit. 

Family Connections

Ask your child to show you how to multiply one digit by two or three digits.  

Ask your child to play a multiplication game with you to reinforce their multiplication skills.

While driving in the car, try skip counting with various numbers - each person in the car says the number that comes next (5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40)











Important - Please be sure you are sending your child with warm clothing.  We will be going outside unless we have a blue day (-20 or colder with the wind chill).  In Calgary the weather can change quickly and drastically and we need students to be dressed accordingly.

Students participated in creating a five minute drama presentation about extreme weather for Room 8 and Electricity for Room 7 with our Trickster, Tyrone.  The week began by playing games and making different "shapes."  All of our different "shapes" were then put up and we voted on the ones we liked the best. Tyrone led students in creating the story around them.  Students acted out the story with lots of enthusiasm and energy.  They gave suggestions and took direction throughout the process. What an amazing week with Trickster.  We were very proud of the performances they gave!  Ask Your Child: -What was the goal you set this week for Trickster? -How do you feel about the performance you gave? -What was your favourite part of the week?  -What would you change if you were the director? -Would you l

  Blog Post 37 June 12-16 Learning Outcomes Math  Topic: Shape and Space  Outcomes:  demonstrate an understanding of volume  demonstrate an understanding of capacity   What Did  Students Do? This week, students participated in a hands on activity to learn about volume and capacity. Students had the opportunity to estimate how many millilitres (mL) or litres (L) a container held. They used referents to help them estimate each container's capacity, such as 250mL/1 cup or the visual of a 2L milk carton. With the support of the teacher, students then filled each container with water to determine what the capacity was and compare it to their estimate.  The second activity students completed was to estimate the volume of various boxes. Students learned how to calculate volume and reviewed how to multiply multiple numbers. Students used referents to help with their estimation, such as using a pinkie finger to represent a centimetre. After estimation, students used a ruler to measure the l
