Agenda:
1 - Math tests corrected and signed by your parents - Due next Tuesday
2 - Read 20 - 30 minutes everyday - this includes reading to self, reading to others and listening to reading.
3 - Tomorrow is a PD day
4 - See the Create a Crime Scene Assignment Requirements below - We will create the rubric together on Monday and get started creating on Monday as well.
Mark your calendars - Room 7 are heading to the Nose Hill Public library on Friday Nov. 2nd
We are currently looking at Place Value in math (Grade 5 - will look at numbers up to One Million and grade 6s will look at numbers greater than One Million.) We want to ensure we understand the place and value of large numbers prior to looking at operations involving numbers.So, over the next few weeks you can do a few things to feel ready for operations - practice your basic multiplication facts!!! Grade 5 - please practice your basic facts up to 10x10 and grade 6s please practice your basic facts up to 12x12.Here are a few resources to try at home:https://www.mathplayground.com/multiplication_blocks.htmlhttps://gregtangmath.com/kakoomaIf you love music and rhyming - these YouTube videos can be fun and helpful -https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLcydVovd1PlRmrY770E7BLRqu8OXpYhkEThere are also apps you can purchase - www.mathrockx.com is one exampleYou can also see what Mathletics has to offer
Create A Crime Scene
Name: ________________
Today’s Date: Oct.25, 2018
Due Date: _________________
You will now have the opportunity to apply the many investigative
techniques you have learned so far in Evidence and Investigation by creating a
crime scene!
Your assignment is to create:
A)
A bird’s eye view of the crime scene
(drawing/diagram). Label your objects (using a straight line).
The drawing/diagram must include at least 5
pieces of evidence/clues:
Examples:
-
Handwriting sample from a note left at the crime
scene
-
Chromatography
-
Hair, Fabric, or a Fibre
-
Fingerprints
-
Footprints
-
Tire prints
-
Shoe/glove left at the scene
-
Object used to break in
-
DNA
-
Any other evidence that investigators might
value
The 5 pieces of evidence must be
represented by a zoom out. Example:
if footprints were found inside of a building include a detailed, enlarged
version of the footprint in a zoom out box.
B)
Provide a list of evidence:
Example: 1. Fingerprint 2……… 3………. 4……….. 5………..
C)
Provide a written explanation. What was the
crime? How was the crime committed? Explanations must be based on the
drawing/diagram and the evidence/clues. Add extra details that make your
explanation interesting to read.
TIPS –
Be sure to do a draft of your crime scene on a scrap piece
of paper
Please put your name on your project, include a title for
your crime scene and use pencil crayons and you can outline in thin black
sharpie.
You will spend a class showing your crime scene to your
fellow classmates. They will have to use their investigative skills to find the
evidence, analyze the evidence and try to solve your crime.
