Progress Reports
Progress reports went home today.
Please be kind to the environment and return the envelope so we can use it for your next report.

Math
A nickel is worth 5 cents (5¢), a dime is worth 10 cents (10¢), a quarter is worth 25 cents (25¢), and a dollar is worth 100 cents (100¢).

A piggy bank contains some quarters, dimes and nickels. There are no other coins in the piggy bank. The ratio of the number of quarters to the number of dimes to the number of nickels in the piggy bank is 9 : 3 : 1.

The total value of all of the coins in the piggy bank is $18.20. Determine the number of coins in the piggy bank.

Use today's discussion to help you solve the above problem.

Math

In 5 years the average North American eats about 115 kg of fruit. How much does the average North American eat in 7 years?

Land Acknowledgement
Let's think about the wording:
"At Moraine Hills we would like to acknowledge that we live, work and play on Dish With One Spoon Treaty Lands. This treaty agreement is an understanding that all people - past, present and future - who share this land are responsible for making sure that we are kind to ourselves, kind to one another, and kind to the land that we call home. In this spirit, we are working towards peace, reconciliation, and equal rights for our indigenous partners."

Number Squares

What did you learn about yourself as we solved this puzzle together?

What did you learn about your classmates?

Math
Please answer the following question using pictures, numbers and words.

At a track and field meet, Shaun and Raoul are competing in a 1000 m race. Suppose that, after the first few seconds of acceleration, both runners run at a constant speed.

The judges recorded the following information using a stopwatch:
After 20 seconds, Shaun passed the 100 m mark
After 25 seconds, Raoul passed the 150 m mark

How can you determine the winner of the race? By how much did they win?

Please practice your monologues for Monday.
I'm looking forward to your amazing work!

Beautiful day outside.
Keep working on your triptych.
How did our trail space and waterway look in the past? now? in the future?

Hi everyone!
