Health and PE & Math HW and a review of Multiples and Factors and Homework

Health and Physical Education

A couple of days ago, in PE class, I was having some difficulty explaining this warm-up type game that I imagined to be fun.  Here is the YouTube video for it, which should help:


As with most things related to YouTube, there are always so many videos to be distracted by, but this one will probably help with an illustration of people playing the game:

















Math HW





A couple of sample questions from the homework:




Here is a helpful video for review.  I am unable to post any of the Flocabulary videos.  



Still unsure, check out this helpful page:

A multiplication chart can be used to find the factors of a particular number.  In this picture, you will see one of the factors of 12:

If you look for another 12 on the chart, you can see that 2 & 6 are also factors of 12.

I was explaining to Winston that a 100s chart will help you find common multiples if you are having difficulty with your multiplication skills.  Here is a link for a printable 100s chart:  https://www.montanamath.org/lessons/100chart.pdf

Here is a sample of someone's work on a chart.  The common multiples have more than one colour on them:

The blue is for the multiples of 5 and the orange is for the multiples of 2.  They overlap and have a common multiple of 10.  This would be considered the lowest common multiple of 2 and 5.

Homework

I updated the letter I sent home yesterday.  Please return the lower portion of it.  Thanks for your patience.

- outstanding forms from Dovercourt package
- Grade 7 Immunization form
- quiet reading book for Monday morning
- Math: p. 6, #6; p. 12, #4-8
- prepared to play "Truth and Lies" (2 lies and a truth) I may move this to Monday's homework since I did not explain this.  Here is an explanation of the game.

Instructions: Have everyone sit in a circle. Each person prepares three statements, two of which are true and one of which is a lie. In any order, the person shares the three statements to the entire group. The object of the game is to figure out which statement a lie. The rest of the group votes on each statement, and the person reveals which one is the lie.  From http://www.group-games.com/ice-breakers/two-truths-and-a-lie.html

Have a great weekend.  That was an awesome first week!!  What a super class.
