Introducing Ms. Pat
Google Earth Measuring Tool Lesson
Pat Lambrose works in the Instructional Technology Department for the Salt Lake City School District. She has been my mentor, for implementing technology into my teaching (eMINTS), over the past 3 years. I respect her and appreciate her knowledge and assistance.
Today Ms. Pat taught the students of Room 207 to use the measurement tool on Google Earth. This tool allows you to measure distances or paths, with variable increments (e. g. feet, miles, meters, kilometers). Students measured our school field virtually to find out wether or not we actually ran a mile for P. E. this past Monday. It turns out that 4 laps around our field is a little over a mile! We'll have to let Becky know! We also found the field's perimeter and area.
Remember Ms. Pat's challenge 4th graders: Demonstrate to a friend or someone at home how the measurement tool on Google Earth works!

Patterns of 8 Lesson
Expressions Math Board
Missed out on today's Math lesson or having trouble remembering your patterns of 8 in both multiplication and division? Watch the following vidcasts and catch up with your classmates!
Part 1 - This is how we use Math Boards to visually develop the concept of multiplication by circling (in this case) groups of 8, keeping a running total, and writing equations to represent our work.
Part 2 - Do you understand the inverse relationship between multiplication and division? If you know your factors and the product for any given multiplication equation, then you can form a division fact from it.

Quadrilaterals Vidcast
My First Vidcast
Hopefully there will be many more of these to come, this was my first attempt at passing on math content via a vidcast.
Students remember, we've covered the material here, this is provided as review.
Parents, take this opportunity to ask your child questions after viewing this vidcast. "What does congruent mean?" "What is a right angle?" "What does parallel mean?"
