Math
Today we reviewed area. Grade fours seemed to have a good understanding of area and how to use the relationship between the length and the width to solve area problems (Area = Length x Width). Grade fives had more difficulty. You must be able to apply Area = length x width find the area of shapes that can be divided into rectangles. You need to PRACTICE. Please complete your review sheets CAREFULLY. Do not skip steps. Always start with the relationship between the length and width of a rectangle and the area.

Science
