Friday!

Put your thinking caps on and solve these expressions:

1.   2 + 5 x 3

2.   10 - 3 x 3

3.   3 x 8 - 7 x 2

4.   9 + 9 ➗ 3

Did you get the following answers?

1. 17   2. 1   3. 10   4. 12

These same questions sure had us thinking first thing this morning! 

To help us all arrive at the same answer, we've added a new skill to our Math arsenal: 

"la priorité des opérations" (aka PEDMAS!)

The acronym PEDMAS helps us remember the order of operations 

when we are evaluating a Math expression or equation.

After exploring a few questions together as a class, we worked with a partner to solve a few additional equations. 

We will continue exploring the order of operations through a variety of activities next week. 

We're hoping we'll be ready to challenge you to a few tasks at our upcoming Celebration of Learning evening Wednesday of next week! Stay tuned! :)

Agenda

1. Section B Calcul Mental - Monday

2. Recherche concours - ongoing

*A few students have decided to bring their Biography article, graphic organizer and Français journal home this weekend to put in some additional research/writing time. We will continue to work on our writing next week in class, but some students felt they needed additional time to complete their first two paragraphs. Once we've had a bit more work time, a more definite timeline will be set.

Please check in with your child to see how their writing is coming along. Thank you. :)

Have a nice weekend! :)
