Google Classroom

Please sign up for Google Classroom, as online learning will begin Monday.

To sign into Google Classroom, the students have all received a mytools2go account. Here is how the students sign into mytools2go. Lessons, and assignments will be assigned in the Google Classroom, and the assignments will be turned in using Google Classroom. Here is a message from Sean Clements on how to log into Google Classroom. The Class Code is vp5n3ys.

Message from Sean Clements:

Hi Renee,

Yes, they do need mytools2go accounts and they do have accounts already.  They do not have gmail, however, so the need to login at classroom.google.com or drive.google.com.  If they try to log in at gmail.com it will fail.

The default password is their birthday in the format mmddyyyy and the username is firstname.lastname@mytools2go.ca (note the '.' between first and last name)

Number Talk

What is a Number Talk?
Number Talks are short (10ish minutes), exercises aimed at building number sense. Number sense is the ability to play with numbers meaning students can visualize problem solving, perform calculations quickly, and are flexible in their mathematical strategy.

I'm looking for the students to solve the equations, 3 different ways (if possible), with the use of the strategies we have discussed in class.
18+18
20+20
18+19
18+17

Please take a look at the following videos which will talk about measuring using centimeters (cm), as well as what a meter (m) is, and how to measure using a meter.

Some Math and P.E.

One of the games the students love to play in Math Class is War. You will need a deck of cards to play this game. Ensure that all Joker cards have been removed from the deck. Divide the desk equally between 2 players. Each card has a value, represented by the number on the card. The values for the Jack, Queen, and King are: 11, 12, and 13. Aces are 1. Each player draws 2 cards. They then add the values of the cards to see who has the greater value. The player with the higher value wins the cards. The game is done when someone loses all their cards.

On Wednesdays, we have Gym class. The students like doing Cosmic Yoga. Here is a video that the kids can follow: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7NWzS2xziI4

Update

I hope that you are all doing well. As we learned yesterday, schools have been closed until May 4, with the possibility of them being closed even longer. The Minister of Education has implemented new measures to school closure expectations.

I am encouraging everyone to set up their child(ren)’s mytools2go accounts and sign into our Google Classroom. This is where assignments will be posted. This is also where assignments will be submitted to me for formative evaluation\feedback.
