good day parents and students and welcome to a brand new
- 00:04 - 00:07
week of teaching and learning here at Emirates National Schools,
- 00:07 - 00:08
Mohammed bin Zayed City campus.
- 00:08 - 00:11
I am mr Edwin the math teacher just wanted to welcome you to a
- 00:11 - 00:15
brand new week and to give you a few updates in math class.
- 00:15 - 00:15
First of all,
- 00:15 - 00:19
we are in week 20 of the school year and 20 is actually a very
- 00:19 - 00:23
important number today because not only is this week 20 of the school year,
- 00:23 - 00:28
but we have 20 school days left until spring break which I know you
- 00:28 - 00:33
guys are excited about and we have 20 days left in quarter three.
- 00:33 - 00:37
So there's a lot of things happening in the next 20 days.
- 00:37 - 00:42
So I wanted to make you aware of that. Also this week we're starting a brand new unit.
- 00:42 - 00:45
This will be our fourth unit of the school
- 00:45 - 00:47
year and this unit will be entitled geometry.
- 00:47 - 00:52
So lots of shapes and lots of geometric themes that
- 00:52 - 00:54
we're gonna be talking about over the next few weeks.
- 00:54 - 00:59
This unit is gonna take a few weeks ago through um mainly because we have
- 00:59 - 01:03
spring break coming which will break up the unit and also Ramadan will be starting.
- 01:03 - 01:06
Um So that will kind of prolong the the unit,
- 01:06 - 01:08
so it would actually seem longer than what it
- 01:08 - 01:12
really is but unit four will take us through Ramadan
- 01:13 - 01:17
also, please remember to be practicing on I excel,
- 01:17 - 01:18
I have some students who are doing an excellent
- 01:18 - 01:22
job getting in there 30 minutes a week.
- 01:22 - 01:23
Um Please remember that.
- 01:23 - 01:28
I suggest highly suggest that you do at least 30 minutes a week.
- 01:28 - 01:29
Um 2 15 minute sessions.
- 01:29 - 01:31
Some of some students are doing well over 30
- 01:31 - 01:34
minutes a week so I wanted to congratulate them but
- 01:34 - 01:35
also I have a lot of students who are
- 01:35 - 01:39
not reaching or not um doing that minimum requirement.
- 01:39 - 01:42
So please have your students going I excel at least
- 01:42 - 01:44
two times a week for 15 minutes to practice.

Some of the skills that we've been doing in class and also some skills that they may
- 01:48 - 01:50
need some practicing or some skills that they
- 01:50 - 01:54
can get some extra support or Excel Excel.

It
- 01:55 - 01:58
also please remember to check manage back on a weekly basis.
