This video was something I wanted to show the students earlier in the year.  We have now done enough in Math to explore the worlds of very large and small numbers.  This video includes some information on exponents and the Base Ten number system.  This is a part of the current unit we are doing on Measurement and the conversion between units (e.g. mm to km).

A friend of mine works at TVO kids and is in charge of programming the education component of the network.  Well, maybe she is not in charge, but she does have a lot to do with the great videos and homework links they have developed.  Here is a Youtube link to some of the great content available to support homework strategies:

Once you direct yourself to the Youtube link, you will see that there are countless videos available for use.  While we are not working on paragraphs right now, it is a useful video to watch!

In terms of work on the Interactive White Board, we went over some of the homework from the weekend.
