Not So Wimpy Teacher strikes again!

Not So Wimpy Teacher strikes again!

When planning your summer vacation this year, you should definitely consider heading to a nearby beach. The beach is the best place for a vacation for kids, adults, and families.

The seashore is a great place for all of your senses. The sound of the waves crashing and that gentle sea breeze is so relaxing. The salt air is great for recharging and resting before heading back to work or school. A trip to the beach won’t take too much energy out of you either. You can sit back and relax, dip your toes in the water, and build castles in the sand. Whether it is a sound, a smell, or the feeling of the soft sand, everyone feels calm and focused.

With so much free fun right on the beach, a vacation to the beach shouldn’t cost too much. It is free to play in the sand and ocean. Bring a soccer ball to the beach, and you can play for hours for free. Some beaches have boardwalks with rides and games that don’t usually cost too much. If you compare this to a trip like Disney World or the cost of a vacation to Mexico, you will see that it is fairly inexpensive. The best fun is just playing and enjoying time with your family.

Since the beach is so relaxing, parents may like it better than other vacations that kids may like. It is way better than going to a loud arcade or driving around with a bunch of kids in the car. With rides, mini golf, and beach games to play, even parents will have a great time. I’m sure that some of these things will even bring back memories of their childhood.

As you can see, there is so much to see and do when you vacation at the beach. Many parents like this type of trip because they are always so busy with work and driving kids that they just want to sit on the beach and relax. You can have lots of fun, as well, and it won’t cost you too much! The beach is really the only place where you can be excited and relaxed all at the same time. Let’s start booking our next summer trip to the beach.

Lesson 3

Division Strategies (without remainders):

1. Skip counting

2. Combining groups into larger chunks

3. Use friendly numbers to break-apart

1. Skip counting

Ex. 72 ÷ 3

3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27, 30, 33, 36, 39, 42, 45, 48, 51, 54, 57, 60, 63, 66, 69, 72.

I skip-counted 24 times, so the answer is 24.

2. Combining groups

Ex. 72 ÷ 3

Since 3 x 4 = 12, I will skip count by 12 until I get to 72:

12, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72

I skip counted by 12 six times and since each group was 4 times as much as 3, I do 6 x 4 = 24, so the

answer is 24.

3. Using friendly numbers to break-apart

Ex. 72 ÷ 3

Since I already know 3 x 10 = 30, I am going to break 72 into 30, 30 and 12 and divide each by 3:

30 ÷ 3 = 10

30 ÷ 3 = 10

12 ÷ 3 = 4

10 + 10 + 4 = 24

Division with remainders

Skip counting example:

Ex. 31 ÷ 4

Skip count by 4 until you get as close to 31 as possible without going over:

4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28 then count up the rest of the way…. 29, 30, 31

In this case, you skip counted by 4 seven times and then counted up 3, so the answer would be 7 R3

Break-apart example:

Ex. 53 ÷ 2

Break 53 into convenient numbers such as 20, 20 and 13 and divide each by 2:

20 ÷ 2 = 10

20 ÷ 2 = 10

13 ÷ 2 = 6 R1

So the answer would be 10 + 10 + 6 + R1 =26 R1

Handling the Leftover Remainder

Once you have these examples down and are ready to divide with remainders, it’s time to understand

how to handle the remainder. Let’s use 45 ÷ 4 = 11 R1 as an example.

Leave the remainder as a whole number… Ex. If you have 45 chairs that you needed to divide among 4 tables, each table would get 11 chairs, the remaining chair is just leftover and considered a whole number.

Turn the remainder into a fraction… Ex. If you have 45 slices of pizza to split among 4 people, each person would get 11 slices and a fraction of the leftover slice. In this case, each person would get 11 ¼ slices of pizza.

Turn the remainder into a decimal… Ex. If you have $45 to split evenly among 4 kids. Each kid would get $11 and a part of the leftover $1, in this case, each kid gets $11.25.

Not So Wimpy Teacher strikes again!

Not So Wimpy Teacher strikes again!

Do you want to get a pet but aren’t sure which type of pet to get? Well, I can help! I’m here to tell you that cats are truly the best pets, especially for families.

First of all, cats make the best pets because most cats are cuddly! They like to lay around and sleep most of their day, so they make great partners to sit and watch television, take naps, or just relax. I once heard that cats sleep 15-20 hours each day! Most cats have lots of fur, so cuddling up with them is like cozying up to a warm pillow. When I have a bad day, the first thing I want to do is cuddle up to my cat. Sure, other animals are cuddly, too, but nothing beats hearing a cat’s purr and knowing that it is enjoying the cuddles, too. I’ve even heard that cat purrs can help humans heal and lower blood pressure (according to mom.me).

Additionally, cats mostly take care of themselves. If you get a dog, you can plan on giving it baths, having to take it on walks every day, and letting it out to go to the bathroom all the time. This is not the case with cats! Cats clean themselves by licking their fur. Their tongues are made for cleaning, and their paws act like washcloths, too. Cats can stay either indoors or outdoors. Either way, they use the bathroom on their own. If they stay inside, they use litter boxes, which you just have to clean out when it’s convenient for you. If they go outside, just install cat doors, and they let themselves out to use the bathroom! If you go on vacation, you don’t have to hire someone to stay with your pet; just have a neighbor check in once a day because your cat will mostly take care of itself!

Yet another reason why you should get a cat is that they have their own unique personalities. My pet cat has a sense of humor. She runs around in circles and makes funny sounds, which makes my family laugh. She is great entertainment! You might say that cats are grumpy or mean. All cats are definitely different, but you can choose a cat that fits your family’s personality. If you go to a shelter to adopt a cat, talk to the people that have been caring for the animals to help you choose. If you get a kitten, you can give it lots of love and attention, and it will most likely grow up to be kind and affectionate. It’s fun to have a cat with its own personality.

What are you waiting for? Now that you know that cats are the best pets, get your very own pet cat!

Think of these questions when writing your business

plan. There are important decisions you need to make

in order for your business to be a success.

1. How can you describe the business?

2. What is your product, or service?

3. Who will buy it? Will it be kids, adults or is it for

everyone?

4. Where should you locate the business?

5. How can you attract customers? What makes

your business unique?

6. What is your competition?

7. What advice do you need and who can provide it?

8. How do you plan to get the word out about your

business?

9. Give a brief idea of items that will be sold and

pricing. Just give general information because

specifics will be later in your price list.

10. Will you donate to a charity? If so, what charity

and why?

More Multiplication Strategies

1 Solve the problems.

1 × 17 = 19 × 17 =

2 × 17 = 18 × 17 =

10 × 17 = 100 × 17 =

9 × 17 = 99 × 17 =

20 × 17 = 98 × 17 =

2 What do you notice about these problems? How did you solve them?

3 Write and solve your own series of related problems. You can choose any 2-, 3-, or 4-digit number that doesn’t end in a zero to be your multiplier.

1 × = 19 × =

2 × = 18 × =

10 × = 100 × =

9 × = 99 × =

20 × = 98 × =

4 Now write one more combination using your multiplier that can be solved using the problems you wrote. Find the answer and explain how you got it.

Multiplication Strategies

Try using and building off of a ratio table for today’s assignment.

For instance, consider the following sequence of problems:

1 x 14 19 x 14

2 x 14 18 x 14

10 x 14 100 x 14

9 x 14 99 x 14

20 x 14 98 x 14

Some should be quick and easy, like x1, x 2, x10, x 20 and x 100

To determine the other answers, create a ratio table like the one below and plug in

what you already know:

X what 1 2 10 20 100

product 14 28 140 280 1400

…… (go on to the next page)

Now let’s use these answers to help get the answers to the problems in red

above.

If, for instance, 10 x 14 = 140, 9 x 14 should be one less group of 14.

If 100 x 14 = 1400, then 99 x 14 should be one less group of 14.

Now just take away another group of 14 to get 98 x 14.

X what 1 2 9 10 20 98 99 100

product 14 28 126 140 280 1372 1386 1400

Is it coming back to you know? You would therefore determine 19 x 14 and 18 x

14 the same way.
