We have been learning about creating a "T" table to identify a pattern and how to write a rule for a series of numbers this week (i.e 2, 6, 18 Pattern Rule: Start at 2 and multiply by 3 each time). We also learned how variables are used in algebra and how they substitute for a number (i.e n + 5 = 8, so n = 3). We will be having a small quiz next Thursday to check the students understanding of these concepts.
To kick off our unit on Local Government the students have been drawing their own city maps in groups of 3 or 4. Each city needs to be aware of residential, commercial and industrial land use, and must also include essential buildings and services including schools, hospitals, public transportation, recycling/ compost facilities, etc. Next week we will be looking at city bylaws and how property taxes are collected and used to fund city services.
Have a great weekend!
Mr. Cull
