 Math Stars

Update 1 – 9/25/13         
In math, we so far learned about rounding numbers, comparing numbers, and place value. We learned in place value that how much each number is worth from the millions down. In rounding numbers, we learned how to round numbers to the nearest thousand, hundred, and ten. In comparing numbers, we learned the signs, < less than, > greater than, = and equal to. For example:
68____79? If you look at the tens place for both of them, then 7 is greater than 6(7>6). So, 68 is less than 79(68<79).

 Geography 's Red Carpet

Update 1 – 9/25/13  
In social studies, we’ve been learning about geography.
Geography: study of the earth’s surface. Including continents, oceans, cities, and  countries.
We’ve been learning about oceans, and we learned a trick from the teachers: People Always Invite Aliens. P in the word People stands for Pacific, A stands for Atlantic, I stands for Indian, and A stands for Arctic. In landforms, we we’re learning about what peninsulas, isthmuses, plains, and other landforms mean.
Peninsula: A body of land that is covered with water on three sides.
We’ve been also learning about latitude and longitude. Longitude measures the distance east to west. Latitude measures the distance north to south.
