In Social Studies we have been learning about Canada's Trading partners. We played a game to learn about the different items we import and export.
I found this website that may interest some of you:
This fun website let's you experience some of the challenges of international trade. See if you can get the best price for the goods you sell and the biggest bargains for the goods you buy. Watch how the global economy is doing: the prices you'll be able to get and the deals you can make depend on how healthy the global economy is. Click on the link below and let me know what you think:

Grade 6 Biodiversity Web Quest
Grade
6 Biodiversity Web Quest
Complete the following Web quest about
biodiversity. You will have
class time to get started, whatever you do not finish will be homework and due Friday
October 24th.
Task 1
An Invasive Species is something that is not
native and has negative effects on an ecosystem. It is usually an
organism that has been brought to one area from somewhere else. To learn
more about this topic go to:
What you see on this website are Invasive Species that invade the waters around us, especially the Great Lakes. Choose 2 of these species, read the information provided and then in your Journal summarize what you have read explaining how this species has reduced biodiversity in these areas. Include a few pictures of your species in your Journal from google images.
Task 2
Using
this link:
scroll
down to find the examples of animals in this ecosystem. Choose 15-20
different animals and classify them into a graphic organizer. Your classification
system should be at least 3 different groups and should be something other than
fish, mammals, reptiles, etc. Use pictures as well as words to make your
work more appealing. Use your knowledge
from previous lessons to help guide your classification.
Task 3
Biodiversity,
everything counts! Head to the following link and click on “How to help
Biodiversity.” http://www.amnh.org/explore/ology/biodiversity
Read about the many ways that you can help to protect
biodiversity. Which of these suggestions have you already done? Write
a short reflection on how you can help protect biodiversity.

Prime, Composite, Factors & Multiples
PRIME, COMPOSITE, FACTORS AND MULTIPLES
Part of understanding math is to understand the terminology that mathematicans use to describe numbers. Here are some definitions you need to know.
Prime numbers - A prime number has only 2 factors. One and itself.
Example: 19, 3, 17, 13, 17, 5
All of these numbers can only be multiplied by 1 and itself
Composite Numbers - A composite number has 3 or more factors.
8 = 1x8
8 = 2x4
Interesting fact: All even numbers are composite numbers because 2 is a factor of all of them. But 2 is a prime number because its only 2 factors are 1 and 2.
Example: 15, 14, 27, 20, 24
Multiples - A number that is the product of two factors. Its skip counting.
First 5 multiples of 24 are: 24, 48, 72, 96, 120
Factors - A whole number that divides a whole number without a remainder. One of the two whole numbers the multiply together to form a product.
24 - 1 x 24, 2 x 12, 3 x 8, 4 x 6
Try This!
Can you identify what numbers are prime and which numbers are composite?
5, 18, 49, 52, 63, 78, 96, 121, 24, 32, 36, 72, 81, 11
For the numbers that are composite identify the factors of the numbers.
What are the multiples of these numbers:
3, 7, 8, 9,

Divisibility Rules
The following is a list of Divisibility Rules which are ways to decide if numbers are divisible by specific numbers.
| Number | Divisibility Rule |
|---|---|
| Two (2) | A number is divisible by two if it is even. Another way to say a word is even is to say it ends in 0, 2, 4, 6 or 8. Example: 642 is divisible by two because it ends in a two, which makes it an even number. |
| Three (3) | A number is divisible by three if the sum of the digits adds up to a multiple of three. Example: 423 is divisible by three because 4 + 2 + 3 = 9. Since nine is a multiple of three or is divisible by three, then 423 is divisible by three. |
| Four (4) | A number is divisible by four if it is even and can be divided by two twice. Example: 128 is divisible by four because half of it is 64 and 64 is still divisible by two. |
| Five (5) | A number is divisible by five if it ends in a five or a zero. Example: 435 is divisible by five because it ends in a five. |
| Six (6) | A number is divisible by six if it is divisible by both two and three. Example: 222 is divisible by six because it is even, so it is divisible by two and its digits add up to six which is a multiple of three. |
| Nine (9) | A number is divisible by nine if the sum of the digits adds up to a multiple of nine. This rule is similar to the divisibility rule for three. Example: 9243 is divisible by nine because the sum of the digits adds up to eighteen, which is a multiple of nine. |
| Ten (10) | A number is divisible by ten if it ends in a zero. This rule is similar to the divisibility rule for five. Example: 730 is divisible by ten because it ends in zero. |
| One Hundred (100) | A number is divisible by one hundred if it ends in two zeros. This rule is similar to the divisibility rule for ten. Example: 4700 is divisible by one hundred because it ends in two zeros. |
