Math – Jonathan worked on Lesson 10 from the workbook named Solve Word Problems Involving Money. In this lesson we worked on finding the value of sets of coins. He used the methods that he knew such as number lines, hundred charts, and base-10 blocks to add the value of several coins. Then he was introduced to a modeling method for adding the value of coins where the coins were grouped according to their values. Next he practiced the new modeling method on several word problems.
Science – We worked on Day 4 of how a spotted cat can have striped kittens. This lesson involved various traits that can be passed down from parents. Next Jonathan identified which traits each kitten got from its mother and from his father.
