Making Words

Today we worked on one of our favourite language activities called "Making Words". Students work in groups and have a set of letters they need to re-arrange in order to find the mystery word. While trying to identify the mystery word, students are encouraged to build mini or smaller words using the letters provided.

We found over 70 words today, using only the letters from our mystery compound word DOWNSTAIRS. Wow!! Amazing work team!!

 

In Math!

Today we created a bar graph based on data collected by students. Our survey question was:

"What is your favourite outdoor toy?" (Toys provided for each class during recess)

 

Math Questions:

How many students voted?
How many students chose the pepsi and soccer ball?
What was the most popular choice?
What was the least popular choice?
If our school had to order more outdoor toys for next year, which choices would we recommend to our principal? (Does this graph give us enough information or would we need to ask other classes in the school?)
