 Hello families, 

This week in Math the grade 3 students continued to build on our measurements skills. As a class we learned how calculate the perimeter of shapes using centimetres as our unit of measurement. Students then created their own perimeter people art on grid paper and calculated the perimeter of their design. 

I can demonstrate an understanding of perimeter using standard units.

This week in math with Ms. Yasin, students learned about Canadian coins. They explored each individual coin, what it looks like, and it's value in cents. Students were encouraged to use the correct vocabulary and talk about the coins using their names (nickel, dime, quarter, loonie, toonie). Everyone was excited to use real money to sort and count coins! The class ended off the week with adding different coins together to make a sum less that one dollar. Learning was extended with the opportunity for students to create a sum using any coins they wanted. We came up with multiple ways to make one value! 

Notes:

-If you have any empty cardboard cereal boxes, We are looking to collect them for an upcoming project in Math. If you could bring any to school that would be fantastic!
