Finding Cube Root of a 7-9 Digit Number

Lots of learning and problem solving today!  Here's a helpful link to help with solving cube roots for 7-9 digit numbers. 

Interquartile Range or IQR (Measure of Variation)

6th grade students have been exploring data sets using box and whisker plots.  In the video below, we learn how to determine the Interquartile Range or IQR.  Simply stated, it's the measure of variation in the data set.   Watch the video below:

 

This video should help with Tuesday's work.  

Thirteen Colonies

This week, students are reading about the middle colonies.  We are going to view Mr. Zoller's podcasts to learn more about these states and their founders.  During the video, students will pause the video and take notes.   This is part II of  Mr. Zoller's podcasts on the colonies.   

This week, you will also watch parts I and III. The links are provided.  As with the middle colonies, students are required to pause and take notes when indicated.

Types of Mountains

This week in science, students are learning how mountains are formed.  This video, from BrainPop, will identify the types of mountains and how they are formed.
