Kellan worked on the unit's 'Review What You Know' on making copies of unit fractions and writing fractions shown by given figures. Then, we continued the equivalent fraction lesson. Together, we drew quick pictures on the whiteboard to model different ways to name the same part of a whole while recognizing that if the numerator and denominator are multiplied by the same amount, it will create an equivalent fraction.
Kellan read about renewable and nonrenewable resources. We discussed the difference with examples. He drew illustrated definitions of renewable and nonrenewable resources.
Today's review focused on fraction vocabulary terms with Kellan using terms to complete sentences. Then, our lesson focused on equivalent fractions using area models to recognize and generate equivalent fractions. On the whiteboard, pictures were drawn to represent real-world situations and the different ways to name the same part of a whole. For homework, Kellan was asked to continue with the basic multiplication facts riddle.
Kellan solved a division word problem for his daily review question and reviewed the 6s facts using flashcards. Then, he chose 3 long-division and 3 multi-digit multiplication problems to solve from the unit review. He carefully rewrote the problems in the correct format before finding the solutions. For homework, Kellan was assigned a basic multiplication facts riddle.
Kellan read about inherited behaviors. We discussed the difference between inherited and learned behaviors, and he drew an illustrated definition of inherited behaviors.
