Week 7 of Activities
May 4 - 8
Boat Week!
This week we will be working on our data analysis skills and continue developing strategies for adding and subtracting two-digit numbers. During your child's 2 hours (or more) of work on Math this week, please have your child:
If time permits, you could have your child:
If you're needing reminders about different strategies we've worked on in class for two-digit addition and subtraction, you can check out this video.
- Complete the two numeracy assignments for this week
- Work through the video mini lessons below
- Complete some of the worksheets (either the grade level ones, more challenging, or less challenging)
If time permits, you could have your child:
- Play the games for this week (or previous weeks)
- Practice their addition and subtraction skills using the worksheets or games in the basic facts section below
- Read through the Mathology book for this week Big Buddy Days
- Play the online math games on the Math Links Page

Numeracy Assignments for Week 7
To be submitted to Mrs. Barker by the end of the week
Assignment 1: Make a Pictograph
- I surveyed some of the staff at Millgrove to ask which their favourite famous boat was, and their answers are below
- Use the information below to make a pictograph!
- You can watch the video on pictographs in the video mini-lesson and use my example to make your own
Which is your favourite famous boat?
The Titanic
|
The Blue Nose
|
The Santa Maria
|
The Edmonton Riverboat
|
Example
What is your favourite kind of boat propulsion?

Assignment 2: One of These Things
- Choose one of circles below
- You need to answer the question: which addition question do you think doesn't belong? Why?
- There is no right answer, you just need to be able to explain why
- Hint: if you solve the equations it will help you to think about why
- You can write down your answers with your math work, and then share your decision about which one doesn't belong and why either in writing, video, or by taking a picture on Seesaw and recording your voice when posting the picture

Math Worksheets
Click here to download the different worksheets for this week. If you have access to a printer, you can print them off, but if you don't your child can answer the questions on their own piece of paper.
All of the worksheets are also available on Seesaw Class if it's easier for your child to complete them there.
If your child is finding the worksheets much too challenging or much too easy, there are more or less challenging worksheets at the bottom of this week's activities (further down this page).
My intention is not for your child to finish all of these worksheets, but to use these to supplement the mini-lessons, word problems, and games and provide some extra practice for your child. Please don't feel pressured to have your child complete all eight!

Video Mini-Lessons
Word Problems
Click through the presentation below to view the question and then view the answer (the students should be familiar with this format from when we answer these problems in class).
Math Discussion Prompts
This slideshow has a collection of prompts that can inspire mathematical discussions that you and your children can have before bed, at dinner, or anytime. Each prompt shows you and your child a problem.
Sometimes there is one right answer and sometimes there are many right answers. The purpose of each question is to generate a discussion about how you determined an answer. If you find one answer, try to find another.

Games
Here are some new games to play this week to practice some of the skills we've been working on. You can check out the games from previous weeks on those math pages as well!

Basic Facts Practice
Click here to download this week's basic facts sheets to practice our fact fluency. Our goal when we work on these is to get as many does as we can, and to try to get them done a tiny bit faster each time we practice. I usually give them 10 minutes and then we stop, but because students will be doing them at home you could use a stopwatch and help your chid time how long it takes to complete all the questions.
If you do not have a printer you could write out one column of equations for your child or read the equations to them and have them tell you the answers.
Below the sheets are some links to games that would also help your child gain automaticity in calculating their basic facts if that is a way to practice that works well for your child.

Book and Activities (Optional)
|
Click on the book Big Buddy Days on the right, and read it with your child. (Click here to access a PDF of the book if you can't read it online.)
As you read, encourage your child to:
Choose 1-3 of the below activities to work on with your child Try the online What Does the Graph Show activity by clicking here Newsworthy Explore and talk about pictographs on appropriate topics that appear in the news, on TV, on the Internet, or in books or magazines you read together. Talk about what they mean. Many will be too complex for your child to understand, but he/she may recognize the form and structure of the pictograph. Talk about which category is more and which category is less. Being an informed citizen means being able to interpret graphs! |
Graphing at Home
With your child, create pictographs at home. For example, you could sort and graph the number of spoons, scoops, forks, and spatulas in the utensil drawer. Once you have organized the household items, talk about which is more and which is less and how many items there are altogether. |
