Learning Intention = We are learning to practice inferences by thinking about popular & well known fictional character, by combining ‘what I already know’ (prior knowledge) & clues that I have seen or read in text (text evidence)
Success Criteria = I can think about popular characters and make inferences about details I do not know about them, such as, eg: what might be in their pockets, backpack, fridge & car boot. I also understand that inferences can sometimes be called ‘educated guesses’, and that I cannot always check their accuracy.
Today you will be thinking about popular fictional characters and making inferences about them. This means you will be combining your prior knowledge and clues you already know about them, to create an ‘educated guess’ (inference).
Have you ever thought about what their favourite TV show might be? Or if they could have a pet – what would they pick?

You will need a partner to play this game, or play on your own and see how many squares you can make each day. All you need for this game is two dice, the downloadable game board (If you can’t print, use the game board posted on Seesaw or draw the grid in your Homework book), and two pens of different colors. One player rolls both dice, multiplies the two numbers together, then looks for the product on the board. The student then draws a line to connect any two dots that form part of the square around that product. The game continues until the board is filled with squares.

Learning Intention:
We are learning to calculate the volume and capacity of prisms using familiar metric units.
Success Criteria:
- I understand the difference between volume and capicity.
- I can calculate the volume of a prism using the formula Volume = Length (l) x Width (w) x Height (h)
Use the formula V = Length (l) x Width (w) x Height (h) to calculate the volume of a rectangular or square prism.

Group 3 Task – Additive Volume
Watch this video below
Click here to watch the above video: Recognise that volume is additive by finding the volume of a 3D figure composed of two rectangular prisms
Now that you have watched the above video, calculate the volume of each rectangular prism and add them together to find the total volume of the irregular shape. The answers are attached to this sheet, but please provide all working out with your answers so your teacher can see how you arrived at the correct answer.
