Projects

 Students will be completing four at home math projects during the course of the school year. These projects will allow students to show their understandings of the skills taught in class. As students are always taking assessments I feel this is a great opportunity for students to show their creativity and develop a love for learning. One project will be due at the end of each making term. I will post the projects at the beginning of each term below. I will also provide your child with a copy of the project in class.  Project 1:  Dear Parents,  It is time for first at home math project! The project is called, **Weather Trackers**. This project will have students practice math skills including data, measurement and graphing. Students will have a chance to show their understanding of these skills through this at home project. Attached is a __calendar for October__. Students will record the temperature for each day in each box. (//Example: On October 1st if the temperature was a high of 78 degrees, then they would write 78 degrees in the October 1st box on the calendar.)// Students may obtain this data anyway they wish, through newspapers, internet, news channel, etc  When the calendar is complete, students will make their own __line plot__ using the data from the calendar they collected. The line plot may be on poster board or made any other creative way students wish to construct it. Students need to include all the parts of a line plot. They may use a tally table to help them gather and interpret the data. At the end of the month students will be asked to find the __range, median and mode__ using the data they collected. Students will also need to write __4 false statements and 4 true statements__ about the data. Students will then present their projects to the class in a short oral presentation. We will take this opportunity to discuss how the line plots are similar and different from one another and what factors may have affected the results.  **The project is due Monday, November 3rd**. This should give students enough time to collect the data for the calendar and to create their line plot. Oral presentations will the same day. Please contact me with any questions you may have. Thank you for your continued support and I hope the students have a fun learning experience as they complete the project!  Miss Woods Project 2: Project 3: Project 4:
