In English we summarized our favorite stories by writing about the characters, the settings, key vocabulary and important details.

In social studies we looked at the continents and began to look at Tunisia and India. We compared how geography can affect where one might choose to live. We learnt that nearly 1/7 of the Earth's population live in India ( 1.333 billion)

We mined cookies for minerals in science and we played squirrel tails with Monsieur Trevor in Phys Ed.

Ask me : What is squirrel tails?
What did I learn about the land in Tunisia. Where do most people live? How might that affect my quality of life?
How did I do in my music assessment?

Math Place Value Revision – evaluation on Wednesday, October 23

Different ways to represent big numbers

1. la forme symbolique ( en chiffres)

ex 384

2. in words 

ex trois cent quatre-vingt-quatre

3. place value chart / le tableau de valeur de position

centaines	dizaines	unités		centaines	dizaines	unités
3	8	4

4. place value chart with a number exchange

centaines	dizaines	Unites
3	7	14

= 384 

e) using hundreds, tens, ones / centaines, dizaines, unités

384: 3 centaines, 8 dizaines, 4 unités

6. expanded form / forme décomposée

384 = 300 + 80 + 4

206 = 200 + 6

190 = 100 + 90

7. value and position of a digit / la valeur et la position des chiffres

384 un 8 dans la position des dizaines vaut 80

384 un 3 dans la position des centaines vaut 300

384 un 4 dans la position des unités vaut 4

8. drawing with base 10 materials/dessin avec matériel de base 10

              

Comparing numbers

428 < 444 129 > 99 10 + 1 = 11 + 0      Plus grand que / plus petit que/ égale

*the crocodile wants to eat the largest number

Ordering numbers

From smaller to bigger / ordre croissant: 467, 835, 900
