Today's homework is to practice word questions in math. These questions require students use all their knowledge they acquired in this number sense and numeration unit. Word questions and problem solving can often be a difficult task for students as they require logical and clear explanation of their thinking and this could be challenging in their non-dominant language.
This homework was thoroughly explained in class but if difficulty persists, the following information can help support the student. Not every word needs to be used.
Students should use the word bank to help writing their answers and use full sentences.
Q1. There is an unknown number but when you read it you say the word < quatrante (40) >. Give three possible numbers. Give also three impossible numbers that contain number 4.
Q2. Write 3 things about the number 5?2. (three digit number that starts with 5 and ends with 2 and the middle number is unknown). Use the word bank.
Q3. Explain how the two 5's are different in the number 525. Use the word banks in question 1 and 2.
Q4. Look for 3 different news stories in newspapers or magazines where a number between 10 and 100 appears. Write what this number means in the context of the story. Imitate the example to write the answers.
