September 29th Update

Math

We are now transferring our learning about attributes in patterns to sorting by attributes. Sorting is part of the Data Management curriculum. Here are the learning goals for each grade:

Grade Two: I am learning how to organize objects into categories by sorting and classifying objects using two attributes at the same time (sort attribute blocks by colour and shape at the same time)

Grade Three: I am learning how to organize objects into categories by sorting and classifying objects using two or more attributes at the same time (sort a collection of buttons by size, colour, and number of holes)

Today we practised sorting by two attributes using a Venn Diagram. Math teams came up with a sorting rule, and sorted blocks. They then hid their sorting rule and other math teams tried to determine what it was. Here are some pictures from the activity:

Can you determine our sorting rule?

Portfolios

The green portfolio should come home today. Please review the first math test with your child, sign and return. If you have any questions, please ask!
