More multiplication and division review. Two-digit multiplication and long division remain a challenge for both grades. Please complete Skills Banks carefully and make sure you UNDERSTAND how to find the product or quotient. There are different ways to divide and multiply. Knowing a variety of ways is always helpful. Multiplying using expanded form was a wee bit tricky for grade fours. Understanding place value is important when asked to find the product using expanded form. For example:

39 x 6 = 30 x 6 + 9 x 6 ( we expressed 39 as 30 + 9 and multiplied each by 6)
39 x 6 = 180 + 54
39 x 6 = 234

Grade 5, when estimating quotients, find a dividend (the large number) that is a multiple of the divisor. For example, if you were estimating 6257 ÷ 8 , think of a multiple or fact of 8 that is close to 62. 8 x 8 = 64 so our estimate would be 6400 ÷ 8 = 800

On Friday, we will be having a quiz on volume, capacity and mass. For the quiz you should be able to.....

Change one unit to another.....
1 L = 1000 mL 
1 kg = 1000 g
1 g = 1000 mg
1 mL = 1 cm³  

Know which unit to use for a particular object: g, kg, mg, L, mL, cm³  
Capacity measures LIQUID volume
Mass measures the HEAVINESS of an object
Volume measures the amount of space

Tell whether a measurement is reasonable by COMPARING it to a known measurement. For example the mass of a dog cannot be 5 g becasue 5 g is about the mass of a sugar cube. The capacity of a water bottle cannot be 75 mL because a juice box is about 250 mL and a water bottle has a  greater capacity than a juice box. 

You should understand how to find the volume of an object by counting the cubes. If it is a rectangular prism, you should know that Volume = Length x Width x Height or
Volume = Area x Height

Lastly you should understand how to find the volume of an irregular shaped objects by using water displacement. Look at the water level in the measuring container before you put the object in and after you put the object in the water. The amount it rises is the capacity in mL.
Because 1 mL = 1 cm<sup>3 
The volume would be the same number except different units.

Social Studies
Grade fours wrote a shared comparative paragraph about the physical features in Ancient Rome and Judea. Please complete your comparison of precipitation, landform feature and one conclusion for Ancient Rome and Judea.
Grade fives discussed the many ways the First Nations people in this region used the environment. Don't forget to formulate three questions about transportation, medicine, weapons or tools.
