Week March 30 - April 6

Math:

For the past week and a half, we continued to work on patterns, filling input-output math tables  and FINDING THE RULE.  We went a step further by giving the rule USING A VARIABLE  (algebraic expression). 

We also started to solve problems using an input-output table and the rule (applied to a situation where there is a pattern). Students learned how to plot points in a simple graph (plan cartésien) from an input-output table. They practiced how to read coordinates and make the connection with an input-output table.

Science:

We have concluded our unit on ASTRONOMY. The last topics we covered were the PHASES OF THE MOON and the ECLIPSES (solar and lunar). Students are also working on 1 topic of their choice in astronomy as part of their 'current event project'. The unit test on astronomy will be next Thursday (April 14).
