We've started talking about patterns and pattern rules in math and we started to see how we could also use pattern rules when spelling. We also started using non-fiction text features in our reading. - in math we started to look at patterns and pattern rules in both arithmetic and geometric sequences. We learned about the Fibonacci sequence and how the numbers have special relationships to one another. We also talked about how pattern rules can become a specific set of instructions called algorithms. We learned about algorithms and how they are used in Rubik's cube to help solve problems and the cube. - in science and social studies we started to go a little deeper into the geosphere and the landforms that Canada has. We also used our knowledge of what algorithms are to help us code some instructions to defeat a game in computer science. - for Re...
