This morning, we labelled and coloured an "official" map of the 6 regions of Canada! We then discussed and signed-up for the positions we will be campaigning for in the next election. After lunch, we started our multiplication strategy unit! We learned the 10's strategy, where (if there is a zero at the end of a number), we can take off the zeroes, multiply what is left, and add the zeros back onto the number at the end! (e.g. 20 x 30-- 2x3=6 -- add two zeroes back and you get 600!) We finished the day with a music test!
