Today we will be looking at lesson 11 estimating area. We will be looking at irregular shapes and using our skills in estimating. Remember estimating is a skill that involves making a good guess.
Look carefully at the Let's Learn slides as our friends demonstrate how to estimate the area of the island in the In Focus task. When you get to the Guided Practice question you will need to use the ideas from the Let's Learn slides to help you decide how to estimate the area of a circle - remember to write your answer in your Home Learning Journal.
When you are ready try worksheet 11 on pages 149 and 150 of your workbook - the answers are at the bottom of the page.
English
Begin today's session by practicing your best cursive handwriting using the pangram - The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. Can you remember what a pangram is? Can you explain it to someone else?
Imagine a Day
Start the session by thinking about the following questions
What do you like about your days?
What do you think makes a good day?
You can discuss your ideas with someone at home or make some notes of your ideas in your Home Learning Journal if you like - remember notes do not need to be written in full sentences.
Next close your eyes and imagine what you would do on a perfect day - try to picture where you would be, what you would be doing, what the weather would be like, who you would be with. When you open your eyes draw a picture of your perfect day including as much detail as possible.
To finish imagine what you would write in your diary after your perfect day - use your Home Learning Journal to write your diary entry describing your perfect day.
Reading
Read the opening of chapter 12 Edge of Extinction - write a recount of Sky and Shawn's encounter with 'Big Ugly' after they first escaped from the compound.
