Bonjour,
As per our discussion in class this morning, "pas de devoirs" or no homework means daily review of new concepts being learned in class as this will greatly increase long term understanding. It is also an effective study plan for quizzes and tests especially compared to last minute cramming. Try explaining new concepts and ideas to a parent/sibling or friend. Talking about/discussing your learning is hugely beneficial in helping you remember the information.
Idea for review questions to go over:
1. What are three examples of weathering? Can you think of two biological weathering processes and two mechanical ones?
2. What are the three types of rocks you read about today? Do you remember anything about how they are each formed?
3. In preparation for Social Studies, can you think of three of the cities you looked at for your assignement and whether or not they had rivers nearby? If so, what were their names (the rivers) and where are these cities in the world?
4. What happens when you subtract a negative number from another number? Does the initial value increase or decrease? (e.g. 8 - -10)
6. Why is the idea of "creating zero" (e.g +2 and -2) important when adding and subtracting integers?
5. What happens if you try to subtract a negative number (like -5) from a positive number (like +9) using a picture or drawing? What do you have to add to your initial value so that you can show the subtraction?(hint: does a "zero" or one positive and one negative change your initial value?) (e.g. Is + 5 with a +1 and a -1 added to it equal something other than +5)?
Maths: please complete a detailed explanation of everything you know about integers (even if it seems simple to you, include the information). This is an individual assignment so I can assess student understanding at this point in the unit. We will continue with further review and practice of adding and subtracting integers over the course of the next week.
There are some students who have still not submitted Science and Social Studies assignments. Please get them in to M Patterson!
Reminder: Tomorrow is photo retake day and the last day to donate to Halloween for the Hungry with a non-perishable food item.
Passez une très bonne soirée,
Mme Couture
