Good afternoon!
We had a great day today. Tuesdays are science days. Mrs. Grimm joins us for an hour in the morning. We have been studying variables. This is in preparation for the upcoming 5th grade science fair. Students need to have a clear understanding of the scientific process. Today we built airplanes and students had the opportunity to experiment with them for a bit. Next week will be the actual experiment.
Tuesdays is also our Frank Lloyd Wright day. The AT math students are participating in an architecture unit in cooperation with the Frank Lloyd Wright Preservation Fund. They are planning a house and creating a 3D scale model of their home. Today they began placing it on the graph paper. Next week, they begin building.
Homework:
Reading: Read 20 minutes each day. Fill our reading log.
Vocabulary: 12 important words worksheet due tomorrow.
Spelling test on Friday.
Math: Divisibility worksheet due tomorrow.
POW due Friday.
Social Studies: Atlas due Thursday.
Have a great night!
for divisibility rules 7 it says double the digit ... Which digit do you double?

I find divisibility rule number 7 pretty confusing actually!
ReplyDeleteDoes this help?
The known rules for testing for divisibility by 7 are amazingly cumbersome.
Here's one such rule. To find out if a number is divisible by 7, double the last digit, then subtract it from the remaining digits of the number. If you get an answer divisible by 7, then the original number is divisible by 7. If you don't know whether the new number is divisible by 7, you apply the rule again.
For example, to check whether 616 is divisible by 7, double the last digit (6 x 2 = 12), then subtract the answer from the remaining digits (61 – 12 = 49). Because 49 is divisible by 7, so is 616.
divisibility rules can help us.
ReplyDeleteMrs. Sutton? When you add the weight of the plane with the cargo, fuel, and passengers, do you mean the plane's empty weight or it maximum weight?

MU -
ReplyDeleteStart with the plane's empty weight. Add the passengers, fuel, cargo, etc. The total weight cannot exceed the maximum weight.
