Math Question

Look at the squares in this picture.  The pattern of squares is as follows: 1square, 2squares, 3squares, 4squares, 5squares.  Count the number of dots on the perimeter of each grouping, and put this information in a chart.  Do you see any patterns in the information you listed in your chart?  Please comment and explain your pattern rule if you do.

Patterns in Math

Hi Everyone,

Here is a sample of a little review lesson on using a table to record information from a pattern.  After drawing and labeling the triangles, we counted the dots around the perimeter, recorded the information, and found two pattern rules.  Then we used this information to predict how many dots would be on the perimeter of the 20th triangle.

Thinking About an Array and Multiplication

Hi Class,

I spent the day today, Tuesday, in class and I will be in class again on Wednesday! I was at a meeting learning about some new strategies for my job. I thought it would be interesting to change the way we do our journal entries since I am not there, and this way I can communicate with you during the class a little bit. Instead of answering the following question in your Math Journal, I would like you to post a comment to this post. Remember to sign your reporter name so I know who you are!

Watch this video first and watch how the different arrays are made right in front of your eyes! Remember to comment on the math questions, not just about the song.



If I had the question 8 x 7, how and why would an array help a person answer this question? Try to use key words like factor, skip counting, grouping, visual, and product in your answer/comment.

Map of the Regions of Canada

Below this map is a link to a little interactive map of the Regions of Canada.  You may notice that the titles and regions from the link and from this picture look a little different than in our books in class.  However, the descriptions are still valid and may help you visualize Canada from coast to coast.  It is important to realize that different people have different opinions, and it is important to listen to the reasons why the opinions are different.  Can you find the differences from what we have been talking about in class?
