We have come to the end of our trip to Iqaluit. Students added information that they learned about Iqaluit to their Comparing Communities Google slides assignment.

We completed our Polar Bear research. We have learned many new, interesting facts.

In Math, we began Unit 9: Number Sense: Equations and Word Problems. In this unit, students will use various models to represent and solve additions and subtractions. They will use the equal sign (=) and the not equal sign (≠) to compare expressions, for example, 5 + 4 = 9, 6 − 2 = 7 − 3; 8 − 2 ≠ 9 − 4, 6 + 4 ≠ 2 + 7. Students will use pan balances and pictures of pan balances to understand equations and find missing numbers in equations. They will use number sentences (in this unit, equations involving addition and subtraction) to solve word problems of different kinds using a variety of methods.

Thank you to Mrs. Fouquette for supplying this month's ingredients to make Strawberry Shortcake Kabobs!
