Learning Support If you are working with Ms Carrington, Mrs Waggie or Mrs McCormick in Term 3, you will find your work in the Learning Support Google Classroom. Everyone else, please go to the next slide.
EPIC EDITING Rewrite the passage making the corrections required. 6 Capital Letters 2 full stops 1 wrong word use 1 spelling mistake Too much? Just do 1 paragraph. Challenge yourself- Try the whole passage!
We will continue to examine informative writing this week. Let s look at Procedures. First of all, the purpose of a procedure is to provide instructions about how to achieve a goal by following a series of steps. When we write instructions, we need to ensure that they are clear, specific and simple to understand. Examples: - A recipe - Directions like Google Maps - An instruction manual for furniture - How To guide - Rule book for a game Procedures use: Present tense Action verbs or commands Adverbs Subject-specific vocabulary Short, clear sentences
Think about the language used in this example
Lets try a simple example. Match the instructions to the pictures below.
Use the instructions from the previous slide to write a full recipe make Fairy Bread. Bonus: Make fairy bread as a snack with mum or dad s help. write a full recipe on how to Click on this link when you re finished writing your version and check if it is similar.

Mathematics - Division; Quotient I am learning to: Solve problems involving division by a one-digit number. - use the term 'quotient' to describe the result of a division calculation. What is a Quotient? The quotient is the answer to a division question/problem. For example; 'The quotient when 30 is divided by 6 is 5' View the video below right for further explanation of what the quotient is. Arithmetic: What is a Quotient? (Division) Division has its own vocabulary! It seems like a lot of new words to learn, but it really does make division problems easier to talk about. In this video, we'll discuss how when you divide two numbers, you get a "quotient" and a "remainder." About this series: Every Thursday, we're going to Math Camp! This year, we're learning about ARITHMETIC. We'll learn how to add, subtract, multiply, and divide. We'll also learn about whole numbers (integers), fractions, decimals, and complex numbers. These are topics that first come up in arithmetic, but will continue to be helpful in other math subjects like algebra, trigonometry, geometry, and more. So get yer paper and pencils and join us for a fun-filled summer! (sunscreen optional). Don't forget to SUBSCRIBE so you don't miss a single episode! Come back each Thursday!! http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=SocraticaKids Please share these videos with your friends so they can have fun learning math, too. http://youtu.be/-CtVTRgyWEI Math guide: Louise McCartney Written by Michael Harrison Directed Produced by Kimberly Hatch Harrison Michael Harrison
