Learning outcomes:

  • Observe carefully in order to gather data

  • Identify common health problems that should be detected and treated early
  • Discuss behaviors that are safe, risky, or harmful to self and others
  • Set a personal health goal and make progress toward its achievement
  • Explain the basic structure and functions of the human body systems (e.g. how they are interrelated; how they function to fight diseases)

  • Model addition and subtraction of decimals

 

Transferring meaning into symbols

  • Read, write, compare and order fractions
  • Read and write equivalent fractions
  • Read, write, compare and order fractions to hundredths or beyond
  • Develop strategies for memorizing addition, subtraction, multiplication and division number of facts
  • Describe mental and written strategies for multiplication and division

 

Applying with understanding

  • Add and subtract fractions with related denominations in real-life situations
  • Use decimal fractions in real-life situations
  • Use mental and written strategies for multiplication and division in real-life situations
  • Select an efficient method for solving a problem, for example, mental estimation, mental or written strategies, or by using a calculator
  • Use strategies to evaluate the reasonableness of answers
  • Add and subtract decimals in real-life situations, including money
  • Estimate sum, difference, product and quotient in real-life situations, including factions and decimals

 

Reading

Knowing what we aim to achieve helps us to select useful reference material to conduct research.

  • Recognize the author’s purpose, for example, to inform, entertain, persuade, instruct
  • Understand that stories have a plot; identify the main idea; discuss and outline the sequence of events leading to the final outcome

The way we structure and organize our writing helps others to understand and appreciate it.

  • Write for a range of purposes, both creative and informative, using different types of structures and styles according to the purpose of the writing
