Hi Everyone,
I hope all well with you and that you found a way to take advantage of the awesome weather we had this past weekend. Here are some options for you for this week.
Math - Your options for math this week are as follows. The hi-tech option is still Dreambox math. I see a lot of you are trying this which is great. If you get stuck on anything, do not hesitate to send me an email. The website is https://play.dreambox.com/login/knjs/aaj2. If you have not emailed me for your username and password yet, please do so. You can send the email to gerry.richard@nbed.nb.ca . A low tech option would be math-drills.com. This week, focus on Long Divsion. Clicking on this link, https://www.math-drills.com/division.php#long-division-grid-assistance will send to to some good practice pages for this Finally, for the no-tech option, you can play a card game called Rule of 24. Here is how it works - Each player is dealt 4 cards from the deck and they must use all four cards to create an equation with a solution of 24 using the four basic operations (+ , -, x, /). This is a great game that encourages use of all four operations plus brackets and the use of BEDMAS.
I have also posted this weeks Math problem of the week. Feel free to send me your responses.
Science - Upcycling is taking a product or material that you would generally throw away and turning it into something new and useful. This helps keep non-biodegradable junk out of landfills and our ocean. Find out some info on a Circular Economy on the link below.
Your challenge is to find some items around your home that are broken or no longer being used and create something new!

Have a great week and stay safe!
Mr. Richard
