September 21st Update

Math

This week we have learned about growing and shrinking patterns. We have learned that growing and shrinking patterns do not have a core, they are predicable, and either increase, or decrease each time. Below are some pictures from our classroom this week that show growing and shrinking patterns. We are learning how to use a table to determine the pattern rule, and then write the pattern rule.

Can you tell the pattern rules for each pattern? 

Next Wednesday, September 27th we will have a patterning test. A study package will come home tomorrow. The practise work (in the study package) does not have to be completed or handed in on a specific date. If students are experiencing difficulty with the work they are encouraged to bring it in and I can help them. 

Spelling
