Welcome... do you realize that our space journey will come to a close in a little over 3 months... that’s right... this week we start the month of March! We will be taking our state math test again in April, and I hope that with all the material that we have covered will help each of you improve your scores! A lot to do this week so buckle up!
THIS WEEK: We are done with order of operations, but you will see it all over again throughout the rest of your math journey! This week we start algebra... we will be using a program called Hands On Equations, to help us get a quick understanding of algebra, along with that we will be using our book for help in our quest!
CALCULATOR !!! YOU really want to make sure you purchase a calculator that can do fractions, it needs to have an ABC button on it! Trust me you’re going to want a fraction calculator!!
How long does it take the Moon to orbit the Earth?
The Moon takes about 27 days (27 days, 7 hours, 43 minutes, 11.6 seconds) to go all the way around the Earth and return to its starting position. The Moon's orbit around the Earth is a slightly squashed circle called an ellipse.
Which direction does the Moon travel around the Earth?
Looking down from the north pole we would see the Moon orbiting counterclockwise from west to east.
How far is the Moon from Earth?
The Moon is about 250,000 miles (384,400 kilometres) from Earth.
How fast does the Moon travel around the Earth?
The moon orbits Earth at an average speed of 2,288 miles per hour (3,683 kilometers per hour).
The Moon travels at different speeds during different parts of its orbit. It moves slowest when it is at furthest distance from Earth. The Moon moves fastest in its orbit when it is closest to Earth.
How wide is the Moon?
The Moon has a diameter of 2,000 miles ( 3,476 kilometers).
The surface of the Moon has about the same area as the continent of Africa.
What is the surface of the Moon like?
The surface of the moon has many things on it such as craters, lava plains, mountains, and valleys. Scientists believe the craters were formed around 3.5 to 4.5 billion years ago by meteors hitting the moon's surface.
Why can we see the Moon?
The Moon is not a light source, it does not make its own light. The moon reflects light from the sun. We can see the Moon because light from the Sun bounces off it back to the Earth. If the Sun wasn't there, we wouldn't be able to see the Moon. The Sun always lights up (illuminates) one side of the Moon.
The Moon appears to change shape but what we are actually seeing is the Moon lit up by the light from the Sun in different ways on different days. .

By the way there is no man in the moon and sorry... its not made of cheese!

2) How many visitors does the Woodland school recive a day? Then how many visitors would the school have in 10 days? Find the tab that says about us on the web page that the link in question #1 takes you to.
3) How long would it take you to reach the moon by car? If you could run to the moon and it took you ½ as much time as driving ... how long would it take to run to the moon?
4) How long is a Lunar month___? Now round it to the nearest whole number.
