BRING GYM CLOTHES ON MONDAY....WE BEGIN GYM

COOL FACT: The sentence "THE QUICK RED FOX JUMPS OVER THE LAZY BROWN DOG" uses
every letter in the alphabet at least once!

---that's how I learned how to type so fast. I just typed the sentence over and over again, when we used typewriters instead of keyboards...cool fact?? - Miss R

Don't forget to make sure you understand ratios and review rate....click here for some "games"

Remember:

   Rate: A comparison of 2 measurements with different units.
eg. number of words in a minute, km per hour

or even: If a 12-ounce can of corn costs 69¢, the
rate is 69¢ for 12 ounces. The first term of the ratio is measured in
cents; the second term in ounces.
You can write this rate as 69¢/12 ounces or 69¢:12 ounces.
Both expressions mean that you pay 69¢ "for every" 12 ounces of corn.


Ratio: A comparison of numbers with the same units so units are
not required.
boys to girls, teachers: students


you will start 2D shapes (polygons) and 3D (polyhedrons) shapes later this week
to preview Geometry and Measurement
