Literacy
Please make sure you finish your personification card with your partner tomorrow. Next we will be working on similes.

Math
Test on pictographs tomorrow. Review examples we have done in your green notebook. Make sure you are able to:

  • choose an appropriate scale and communicate why you chose it
  • construct a pictograph including a scale and title
  • line up symbols
  • write good conclusions from the data
  • be able to work backwards, construct a t-table from a pictograph
Grade 5 Example:

Ellen counted the number of birds on Memesagamesing Lake in Northern Ontario in July.

Type of bird
Number
Loon
75
Blue heron
40
Mallard duck
81
Cormorant
28

a) Decide on an appropriate scale. Explain why you chose your scale.
b) Draw a pictograph to show the data using whole and partial symbols. Make sure you show the scale     and title
c) Why are 81 and 28 difficult numbers to represent on the pictograph?
d) What other scale could you use for the pictograph? How many symbols of each bird you would use with this new scale.
e) Write three conclusions. 

Grade 4 Example:
