Week 30
Math In math this week, students continued to understand and practice solving algebraic equations. Using all operations (add, subtract, multiply & divide), they solved single-step equations involving a single-variable. E.g. 13 + a = 24 / 15 = 26 - x / 7 x f = 35 / 49 ¸ b = 7 Students also looked at expressing a given problem as an equation in which a letter variable is used to represent an unknown number. Once determined, students then determined the value of the variable. ELA During language arts this week, students continued to work on story writing by developing their skills in descriptive writing and narration. Using a dialogue structure, students first wrote a conversation between two inanimate objects, and then used descriptive narration to set the scene both before and after the interaction. Students are currently working on their final edits to this small written assignment, and will then build upon these skills as they begin to work on writing
