Fine Art – Cultural Artifacts
In our current unit, we are learning about a range of cultures from around the world. For an in-class artwork assignment we want to use an artifact (from our own cultural background) and use our fine art skills to ‘draw what you can see’.
We kindly ask that your child brings in an artifact from their culture to sketch. This artifact should be able to comfortably fit on your child’s desk. 
Artifacts can include but are not limited to the following:
-       Mask
-       Pottery
-       Dolls/Figurines
-       Coin
-        Religious artifact (eg. icon)
-       Jewelry
Please bring your artifact by Tuesday, January 14^th.
Artifacts will be returned at the end of this unit in January.
Many thanks,



Ms. Hughes & Ms. Coldwells

Math Review

Related facts - 2 addition and two subtraction needed 

Ex. 

6,4,10 = 6+4=10, 4+6=10, 10-6=4, 104=6 

Standard Algorithm - standard procedure for adding and subtracting using carrying over and borrowing. 

Adding using base ten 

›       Step 1 – make your first number 

›       Step 2 – make your second number 

›       Step 3 – add!

›       *start at the ones

›       **do you have more than ten? Yes – trade in 10 ones for a 10 rod 

›       *** do you have more than ten tens? Yes – trade in 10 ten rods for a 100 flat

›       Step 4 – write your answer 

Subtracting using base ten 

›       Step 1 – make your first number 

›       Step 2 – take away your second number 

›       *start at the ones

›       **do you have enough ones? No – trade in a 10 for 10 ones 

›       ***do you have enough tens? No – trade in a 100 for 10 tens 

›       Step 3 – write your answer 

Estimating the sum using round- have them write it out next to the problem like below and add/subtract

   516---------500

+194---------200

_____         ______

 600 or 700    700
