Fractions Expectations

We are moving on to Fractions.  We will be exploring the following expectations and working towards our Show What You Know (SWYK) on Friday.

Fractions Learning Goals

• I can divide whole objects into equal parts.
• I can divide sets of objects into equal parts.
• I can compare fractions and put them in order according to size. 
• I can identify the parts using fractional names without using numbers (ex. two thirds, one fourth)
• I can solve multi-step math word problems involving fractions using pictures, numbers and words.

Area and Perimeter

We are halfway through our Area and Perimeter Unit.  The expectations for these measurement skills are as follows:

•       estimate, measure, and record the perimeter of 2D shapes using standard units
•       estimate, measure, and record area
•       compare and order various shapes by area using congruent shapes and grid paper
•       describe the relationship between the size of a unit of area and the number of units needed to cover a surface

You can help your child practise these skills by asking them to estimate the perimeter of their bed, their dresser, the table, and the backyard.  Ask them how many post-it notes they would need to cover a book, the kitchen floor, or front of the refrigerator.
