OCTOBRE - NOVEMBRE 2012
UNDERSTANDING NUMBERS AROUND US!
Students have been learning about large numbers -- how to name them, how to write them, as well as how to build them.
coordinate grids - les plans cartesiens
We have been learning to build and to read coordinate grids. One way we help ourselves to remember that we note the horizontal axis before the vertical axis when marking or reading coordinate pairs (les paires ordonnées) is with the following reminder: "We crawl before we climb!"
Two of our intrepid mathematcians volunteered to demonstrate this reminder! Merçi!

This month, students have been studying patterns in all of their various forms, as well as the rules that can be found in them. In this activity, our mathematicians looked at a table of values and turned it into a model, using any materials they could find in class. Take a look at what they came up with!
