Max and Mark had a foot race which was timed with a stopwatch. Max says that he ran the race in 64.5 seconds. Mark was more accurate. He reported his run as 71.34 seconds. How many seconds faster did Max run than Mark?
In math, we were looked at multiplying decimals. Just like whole numbers, it is important for us to make an estimate to know if our products are reasonable. When completing our calculations, we can use any of the methods we learned with whole numbers (area model, partial product, standard multiplication). To complete the calculations, we removed the decimal and multiplied as if it was a whole number. Then, we added the decimal back in where it made sense based on our estimates.
In science, we did our Junk Pile observation task in our table groups. We had 2 opportunities to observe the junk pile and record what we saw with our groups. Then we had some questions to answer on the items in the pile.
Our day finished with an introduction to policing video from the Calgary Police Service.
