Math - Students have learned how to identify 5 different types of angles: straight, right, acute, obtuse, and reflex.
Students should be able to identify the measurements of these angles and make estimations when they look at them.
Students have learned how to measure angles using a protractor.
Students learned that complementary angles are 2 angles that add up to 90 degrees, supplementary angles are 2 angles that add up to 180 degrees, and that opposite angles are congruent (exactly the same)
Students learned how to estimate addition and subtraction questions by identifying the largest place values of a given number.

Also, students can access the following site from any computer. Under my math class they can search through a number of different supports for activities related to topics covered in class.

Science - students have been learning about the skills that are necessary for detectives to demonstrate in our Evidence and Investigation unit.
These include:
1. Being observant - use of 5 senses, identifying the things that we can see only, use of sketches and taking notes about things
2. Avoiding judgement - Students identified how we can use our bias and stereotypes to affect how we see people. We have to be able not to let this affect our judgement.
3. Using inference and deductions - how to take lots of information and put it into 1 fact. How to take a piece of information and make good guesses based on it.
Students have also begun to explore how communities and crime are connected and how they are supported by the CPS (Calgary Police Service)
