Multiplication Math Workshop

We are on our way to becoming multiplication experts. This week we are taking the challenge of multiplying 3 digit numbers by 2 digit numbers. This are the stations we are using to help us meet our goal this week. Remember you can do the computer and skills station at home!

Smartboard Station
Students get to play teacher as they use the SmartBoard for practice in skills and problem solving.

Menus
Students create math projects to show their expertise in math

Center
These partner games get students talking and challenging themselves

Computer
Try these games at home also.

More Games

Skills
Students use flashcards and skill games to practice their 4 operations

Task Cards
Students use task cards to practice problem solving and skills at the same time. 

Matter

3 States of Matter
solid: has a definite shape and definite volume
liquid: has NO definite shape and definite volume
gas: has NO definite shape and NO definite volume

We were able to identify the freezing points of mystery substances.



Play this game and take the quiz to practice you states of matter!

Discover the different melting and freezing points of different materials other than water. 

Electricity

Circuits

Today in Science Lab, students were able to create a circuit to light a light bulb and/or power a motor. 
Students drew diagrams and model to represent what they did today . 



 

Here is some extra practice to experiment with circuits. 

        

Conductors and Insulators

In Science Lab we also experimented with conductors and insulators. 

Conductors: allows electricity to flow through it. 

Insulators: does NOT allow electricity to flow through it. 

Students tested a variety of materials to see which one was a conductor and which one was an insulator. 

 

Here is a fun online game to test more materials to see if they are conductors or insulators. 

Car in Motion

This week students had to design an experiment to test the effects of motion on a toy car. We were able to practice by testing a Foss plane in science lab.
