Fourth graders were given their first of two final division problems. Working in pairs the students had to figure how many pens they could make for the Maharaja's elephants given certain constraints. Once they figured out how to make the pens, they had to use the "King's Rule" to determine how many elephants they could hold. Next week, they will work on a more challenging problem using this week's information to advise their work. Next week's activity will be the final division activity. We'll begin the Lewis and Clark unit in Mid-February.
They also continued the Language Arts Mind Builders. This week we looked at imperative sentences, past participle forms of verbs and then brainstorming adjective, verbs and adverbs for the letters SMILE. The students are getting better at using the resource book I've provided to answer their questions.
