This week in math we started learning about Cornell notes and how they are more effective than normal notes. We will be using Cornell notes this year. After Mr. Hill taught us how to use Cornell notes he showed us how to get on to Savvas Easybridge which we will use for our assignments. After he showed us all he assigned us to watch a video on Savvas called math practice one and we watched it after school and took Cornell notes. We watched the videos everyday apart from Monday. Also, we watched the video in class the day after. We would sometimes play a game where he spun a wheel on a website and it landed on either addition, subtraction, multiplying, or division, and if it landed on addition then it would come up with an addition problem and we would have thirty seconds to solve it.
In science this week we also learnt that we will be using Cornell notes this year. We also had a look at a broken artifact that was made a thousand years ago by people in northern India. We studied the artifact and came up with some hypothesis like that it could be the four seasons or a star map. At was very interesting. Our main objective was to think about and find out what the missing part of the artifact looks like. We are also learning about the scientific method and how we can use it in our curriculum.
