Grade 4 : Length Unit Part 2

 Dear readers , here's the latest updates for the grade 4 : so those 2 days who passed we were working on converting numbers and out of sudden a student this morning came to me and told me "miss look at this idea" 

Those were her words : "Miss which one is easier , to go down the stairs , or to go up ? Of course my answer was to go down , and when we go down , we multiply right ? Yes we do ....well and the easiest operation is to multiply so in order to remember how to work in the length unit table we can remember the next :

The easiest way to walk on the stairs is to go down and at the same time the easiest operation is to multiply x 10 each time we convert And to go up the stairs which is harder , we divide /10 each time we convert up !

This Challenge is for Grade 3 Students

Good Luck ! :)

Our Officially First Challenge !

Today I decided to start with the idea of putting on my blog a math challenge every week ,so let's start with our official first challenge :
Solve this problem :

 There were candies in a bag. Mona took one third of these candies and then Maha took two thirds of the remaining candies. 6 candies are left in the bag, how many candies were there in this bag?

Please write your suggestions in the comment box below :)

This problem is for Grade 4 students. Good luck !

Grade 4 : Length Unit

Dear readers, since I am a math teacher, and I teach grade 4, I wanted to share with you my latest updates concerning this class.So now our new lesson is about length unit which is based on converting units , now at first I began with a story where I told them, that in the old days, the idea of having a property which is yours wasn't yet applied , and neighbors started fighting about the privacy of each land so they created something called length unit which is based on measuring the land in order to know the private area of each family , of course we went a bit far because you also have other units for mass and capacity but it wasn't our subject , then I showed them the table of the length unit and on Monday I will hang the same table in class.

Well to be honest when I started explaining the concept of converting ,they got lost a bit for example they understood the concept of converting from Km to hm that you do ( x 10) , but to convert from Km to dam , they forgot to do 10 x 10 , instead they did 10 + 10 , and I was a bit shocked because it is was written on the board that you should do ( x 10 ), I don't want to seem this bad person who complains about the new generation but honestly , now we are in an era where they never pay attention to small details , they simply want the conclusion which is actually ruining the pleasure of being excited to find out by our self the solution ! Anyways back to the explanation , when we reached converting whole numbers,they were understanding very well , but when we reached the decimal numbers ,here the disasters begun , but the bell rang :/ .
Thus on Monday will sure be a challenge for me to help them get the idea of it ,maybe the best solution is to be slow a bit in this ....Oh and by the way,  I will distribute a small table of the length unit so they can try it by their self, I already did them today so that's a relief .
Please if you have any comments or extra ideas , be free to share them with me :)

Khan Academy

Dear readers, I presented a project about khan academy and I really felt that my Dr liked it , we began with a quick tour about khan academy , who is the founder , which is Khan by himself of course ,the year it was founded the academy which was in 2006 and in case you have no idea about it , Khan Academy is a non-profit educational organization  by educator Salman Khan
