Today we learned that different disciplines have different language used to express the ideas inherent to them (GATE concept). For example, a math sentence (usually called an equation) uses "symbols" and requires proper syntax like a grammatical sentence which uses "punctuation." So, if the homework asks for a "math sentence" 8 - 5 = 3 is a proper response and nothing needs to be spelled out. This is in contrast to a math expression (phrase) which is not an equation such as 2 x 3.
In Math we learned the important concept of "difference" which is explained in today's math classwork. In keeping with our theme this week of comparing and contrasting,tomorrow we will be playing a game where we will be find the difference in the heights of towers: Tower Battle.
In Music we learned our third element of music: rhythm. We played a game where we had to follow a movement pattern in time with a song.
Hi Mr. B,
ReplyDeleteCan you please post the class activation code for the Scholastic book order?
Thanks,

Thank you for your question. I was actually hoping I would not get asked this question after the luck I've had with their online service several years ago which led to me telling them that I would never again use nor recommend their service if they did not change their faulty system (which seemed to be just a shameful marketing ploy to begin with). I don't know if it has changed, but our code is JDRR3 if you would like to give it a try. Sorry if I sound too negative.
ReplyDeleteOh my, well I just placed an order for my 4th grader and it seemed to go ok (I'll know for sure once I receive the books). The problem is I don't have any checks. I will give it a try and hope for the best.
ReplyDeleteThanks & have a great weekend!
Thank you, I'm sure it's probably all right. We had the problem a few years back when the site was new.
