We started our morning with some DEAR before diving into math. For math today I gave the students a large chart to work on that compares decimals, percents, fractions, pictures and equivalent fractions.
Below is a simpler version you can try for yourself.
After math we moved into social and continued our exploration of the Iroquois Confederacy. The concepts today talked about the wampum belts, the great peace and the responsibilities of men and women. Here are two great videos to watch! Video Video 2
For tech time today I had the students complete the Math Program Intervention Instrument or MIPI that they did at the start of the year. This 30 question test measures what they knew in grade 5 compared to now.
In the afternoon we learned about how to identify different finger prints based on their characteristics. We looked at how finger print ridges can have whorls, arches, and loops. These are characterized by their deltas or number of little triangle shapes. Finger prints also have other little details that help them to identified as well. Ridge endings, dots, islands and forks are big characteristics for individual finger prints. We then used paint to recreate our finger prints on our drawn hands. We will break down the finger prints and identify the details tomorrow! Here is a great website to explore the different fingerprints.
Hope everyone has a great evening!
