Compare & Contrast Characters

A Venn Diagram is a graphic organizer you can use when brainstorming similarities and differences between 2 or more stories, events, poems, creatures, people, poems, science data, shapes, etc.

 
To create a Venn Diagram, draw overlapping circles. Each circle represents something that you want to compare and contrast. Where circles intersect, you would write traits that the two things have in common.

Use these notebook pages to help you think of similarities and 

differences between the lamb and the jackalope in Boundin'! 

We can use a Venn Diagram to compare and contrast their physical traits, character traits, actions, feelings, etc.

How to Divide Decimals by Decimals

Hey Friends! This week we are going to divide decimals by decimals! What does it mean to divide?

Yep! Make equal parts or groups! 

To divide decimals correctly, you have to remember 3 things.

1. Use graph paper or turn your notebook sideways to line up your numbers correctly.
2. Move the decimal, so that your divisor is a whole number. What you do to the divisor, you do to the dividend.
3. Use your mad long division skillz to solve. 

Here's a quick video lesson...

Multiply & Divide Decimals with The Power of 10!

This week we're SUPER excited to learn about the SUPER Power of Ten! Using exponents is an efficient way to write numbers that have a few too many zeeeeeros.

The exponent (or power) tells us how many zeros are in the number when the base number is 10.

The image below has a place for everything with everything in its place. The base can be any whole number, but today we are only focusing on the POWERS of TEN!

Here are the vocabulary words for this lesson: 

powers of ten

base number 

exponent

Multiplying and dividing using Powers of 10 is SUPER fun! 

When multiplying a decimal number by a power of ten, just count how many zeros you have and move the decimal to the RIGHT! 

When dividing a decimal number by Powers of 10, just look at the exponent or count how many zeros you have. Then, move the decimal to the LEFT!
