Teacher’s corner:
Homework: Finish math, page 24-25, ex. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 (if not finished in
class).
Math: This week we have
been working on equations and problem solving with a variable.
Our
goals are:
- to be able to create equations with a variable to a
given problem
- to be able to recognise that more than equation can
be created for a given problem
Social
Studies: We continue our work on a long-term
project that focuses on the natural resources of Canadian regions.
Students are to imagine that they are part of a TV
series on natural resources of Canada and their goal is to inform Canadians on
the following topics:
-
How a particular natural resource is used in a
particular region (industries, jobs, hobbies)?
-
Why this natural resource is important for the quality
of life in that Canadian region? (industries, jobs, cultural aspect, society)
-
What are the environmental concerns linked to the
extraction and processing of that natural resource?
-
How the perspective of the Indigenous people
influenced the way they used this resource in the past?
All work will be done in Google Drive.
