Number Pattern Expectations

We have 3 more Math units to cover before our Review for EQAO testing.  This week we will focus on Number Patterns.  The expectations are as follows:
  • I can extend repeating, growing and shrinking number patterns
  • I can create a number pattern involving addition or subtraction, given a presented pattern on a number line or a written pattern rule
  • I can represent simple geometric patterns using a number sequence, number line, or a bar graph
Here are some online games you can try on your computers at home.  




Remember:  a good foundation in addition, subtraction, multiplication and division is helpful when working on number patterns; so practising your xtramath.org math facts is also a good idea.  Working on speed and accuracy with number facts is always an easy thing to practise in the car, on a walk, and at tuck in.

Geometry Learning Goals

This week's quiz will be on Thursday on Transformational Geometry.  The expectations are as follows:

1. I can identify reflections (flips), translations (slides), and rotations (turns).
2. I can complete and describe designs and pictures of images that have a line of symmetry.
3. I can describe movements from one location to another using a grid map.

Here are some games that you can play online to practise these skills:

Mass and Capacity

Measurement Expectations:


  • I can choose benchmarks for kg and litre
  • I can estimate, measure, and record the mass of objects using a kg or parts of a kg (half, quarter)
  • I can estimate, measure, and record the capacity of containers using a litre or parts of a litre
  • I can compare and order a collection of objects using mass or capacity

Time and Temperature expectations

We have now begun our time and temperature unit in which the students are learning to do the following:

  • I can read time using analogue clocks to the nearest five minutes and represent time in 12-hour notation (digital time e.g. 4:10)



  • I can solve problems involving the relationships between min and hrs, hrs and days, days and weeks, and weeks and years (e.g. How many days are in 2 weeks?  How many minutes are in 3 hours?)

We will be having our Unit Quiz on Wednesday of next week.  Here are some websites for practising:


  • I can estimate, read and record positive temperatures
  • I can identify benchmarks for freezing, cold, cool, warm, hot and boiling temperatures for water
  • I can identify benchmarks for cold, cool, warm & hot temperatures for air


Here are some games to help you practise reading the thermometer and temperature benchmarks!
