2-D Shapes and 3-D Figures
2 D Shapes
We are learning to identify shapes by their properties or attributes. To describe shapes, use the following vocabulary:
Name
Number of sides
Angles (right, acute, obtuse)
Lines of symmetry
Vertices
Congruence (identical in size and shape)
3 D Figures
We identify and compare figures by their:
name - prism, pyramid, other(sphere, etc.)
vertices
faces
edges
bases
net
use (boxes, containers to see how they are used in real life)

MEasuRement
This unit involves the many forms of measuring using the metric system. Linear, area, perimeter, mass, capacity and time.
Linear
We are learning to estimate and measure using the appropriate unit, millimetres, centimetres, metres and kilometres. There are convenient benchmarks which act as our reference.
Tip of a pin = 1 millimetre
Width of our finger = 1 centimetre
Width of our hand = 10 centimetres
Giant step or arms outstretched = 1 metre
The distance we can walk in 15 minutes= 1 kilometre
Capacity and Mass
We use the units of kilograms, grams, litres and millilitres when we prepare food or choose our groceries. Students will be participating in cooking and food preparation activities to help them learn about these units, This math unit also coincides with our healthy eating unit, social studies and Physical Education.

NUMBER SENSE AND NUMERATION
Math - We are adding and subtracting 2 digit numbers using mental math strategies such as:
- friendly numbers (finding tens) and number lines.
- doubles and near doubles
- Keep a number whole and add to it
- break up the numbers using expanded form (add the tens and then the ones)
Next, we will begin to explore multiplication and division problems using our problem solving strategies such as:
Guess and Check
Draw a Diagram
Make a Chart
Look for a Pattern
Use an Operation (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division)
Use math tools or manipulatives
Patterning
Students will create and describe number and shape patterns using a variety of materials. Locating patterns in their environment and in the natural world is an important connection to the work done in the classroom.
What is a pattern? Patterns are something that follows a rule while repeating or changing. The part of the pattern that repeats is referred to as the 'core'.
What is a pattern rule? This is a description of how a pattern starts and how it can be extended.
Challenge: Look for patterns in your home and neighbourhood. Draw a picture or describe them for the class!

Number Sense and Numeration
Representing Numbers
We are representing or 'showing' numbers up to 5 digits in a variety of ways. These include the numeral, written form, modeling using base 10 blocks and drawing. We are ordering numbers from least to greatest, rounding to the nearest 10, 100 or 1000 and solving problems.
Students will be signing up for a math game called 'Prodigy' which is designed for extra practise at home and school.

Data Management
Classify objects into categories. We can use Venn diagrams or charts to do this.
Collect data related to familiar topics (We surveyed the class to see how they celebrate Thanksgiving.)
Graph the data in a variety of ways: Bar graphs, pictographs, line plots, pie graphs.
Calculate the mode, median and mean of the data.
Write statements about a graph to show what information you have learned.
