New Units!!

We have finished our first two units in math and in science so we're moving on to.....
FRACTIONS  and FORCE.




The big ideas for science are:

•  Force can cause an object to change position or motion. 
• The Earth’s surface is constantly changed by push and pull forces.

The big ideas for math are:

• Fractions represent equal parts of a whole or a set of objects, and can be expressed as a/b.
• Fractions can be represented with models, names, and symbols.
• Fractions can be composed and decomposed into the sum of unit fractions.
• A fraction can be represented as a point on a number line between 0 and 1.
• Models can be used to show that fractions with different names can have the same value or represent the same part of a whole.

SCIENCE TEKS:

3C I can represent the natural world using models such as volcanoes and identify their limitations, including size, properties, and materials.

6A  I can explore different forms of energy, including mechanical, light, sound, and heat/thermal in everyday life.

6B I can demonstrate and observe how position and motion can be changed by pushing and pulling objects to show work being done such as swings, balls, pulleys, and wagons.

6C I observe forces such as magnetism and gravity acting on objects.

5A I can measure, test, and record physical properties of matter, including magnetism.

MATH TEKS:

3.3A  I will represent fractions with denominators of 2, 3, 4, 6, and 8 using concrete objects and pictures, strip diagrams and number lines.

3.3B I will find the fractions with denominators of 2, 3, 4, 6, and 8 on a number line.

3.3C I will explain that the unit fraction represents one part of a whole.

3.3D I will compose and decompose a fraction.

3.3E I will solve problems involving fractions with denominators of 2, 3, 4, 6, and 8.

3.3F I will represent equivalent fractions with denominators of 2, 3, 4, 6, and 8 using a objects, pictures, and number lines.

3.3G I will explain that two fractions are equivalent when they are on the same point on the number line or represent the same portion of a same size whole.

3.3H I will compare two fractions having the same numerator or denominator.
