Computation and Estimation Students compute whole numbers. Statistics Students read and interpret charts and graphs. Measurement Students extend their knowledge of the process of measurement. Students estimate, make and use measurements to describe and compare phenomena. Students understand the structure and use of systems of measurement.
Students develop procedures for determining measures to solve problems.
Class Organization Suggestions Collaborative groups help with classroom and student management and assist student learning. Optimally, in computer lab settings 2-4 students at one computer support each other and learn effectively. A script of the movie text is available as a Text-Only screen from the movie page. You may choose to print this out and make copies for your students if you wish to reinforce reading skills or aid those students who have difficulty with oral comprehension. Teacher Tips Students' decision making process can be noted if students are required to keep track of data given to them in the activity, i.e. students are required to write down their altitudes and mark the place values in each number.
