Math: Today, we looked at the value of place value positions as we move to the right on our chart. The numbers will lose a zero as we divide by ten (1/10). Use the 10x /#/ 1/10 chart to help in solving those problems.
Science: Patterns are all around us, even in nature. We see them in the seasons, day and night, and in our planet's rotation and orbit.

Math: We worked on a Place Value Practice today. When you see "ten times as much" and "one-tenth of", please make the place value chart to assist you in solving the problems.
Science: The universe is amazing. The sun is so large that over 1,000,000 earths could fit inside it, but we realized that the sun is really not so big compared to other stars! Make sure to remember the names of the planets, the order in which they appear, and specific facts.

Math: Using the Associative property to multiply by 10 and 100 is a great way to help us quickly solve these types of problems:
Multiplying by 10
40 x 60
40 x (6 x 10)
(40 x 6) x 10
240 x 10 = 2,400
Multiplying by 100
22 x 300
22 x (3 x 100)
(22 x 3) x 100
66 x 100 = 6,600
Science: You created some pretty amazing solar systems! The ScienceSaurus also provided us with some great knowledge about the other planets in our solar system.

Math: We looked at how we can quickly solve problems multiplying by 10 and 100 by moving 1 or 2 spaces to the left in our PV chart.
Science: Our earth is moving constantly, by rotating (day and night) and orbiting (seasons/year).

Math: Continue practicing multiplying by 10 and 100.
Science: We looked at a Gizmo today covering rotation and orbit. It takes 24 hours for the earth to rotate once, and it takes about 29.5 days for the moon to orbit the earth and 365 days for the earth to orbit the sun. We have different seasons due to the fact that while earth is orbiting, the tilt of its axis stays the same.
