Math
This week we continue with multiplication, specifically exploring multiplication through the number line. 

3 x 4 = 12 -----> really means 3 groups of 4 equals 12

                             OR using a number line

3 x 4 = 12 -----> really means 3 jumps of 4 equals 12

We have also started using specific math language for multiplication, such as Factors and Products.

ScratchJr
Yesterday students used ScratchJr to code an animation of a part of the rock cycle. Scratch Jr is an app and is an excellent entry point for coding and computational thinking. 


STEM and STEAM
Today we also discussed what STEM and STEAM mean and looks at some examples of STEM challenges and how to identify the various subjects. I showed the class and example of a STEAM project that I created for the University of Calgary. I coded a music synthesizer and it can be found here: AgentSonos
