January 23rd -

 

Read and highlight interesting or unknown words in La scène du Crime, Les techniciens en scène de crime, and Examiner les lieux de crime.

 

Read Dossier d'enquête. We now have to secure the scene of the crime. Photos are taken of the room under many angles. Next, we make a mock-up of the room, on which we show doors, windows, furniture, etc. and the distance separating them.

 

Look at the picture, then the 4 mock-ups. Using the details in the picture, find which mock-up is the proper one for the crime scene. The 'X' is where you're standing looking at the picture.

 

Questions Défis

 

The tech's have written a report of the crime scene of where the evidence was found. Using the proper mock-up. Determine where each of the evidences were found.

 

Co-ordinates are read first horizontally, then vertically.

 

 

January 6th - We will be starting a new type of homework. the students and I found a book with math problems about solving crimes. Here I will be posting any difficult vocabulary and the translations of what to do so that you can help your child succeed in solving the crime.

 

The students are to read the text, highlight any words that are causing some difficulty, then proceed with answering the question. The reading will introduce the students to new vocabulary that's used when police solve crimes. We will be having an in-class discussion about this part. The "Dossier D'enquête" is where the questions are located. I expect the students to take an extra piece of paper to answer some of the questions. There is also sometimes a "Question défi" on the page with the evidence, that also must be answered.

 

911: Il y a eu un cambriolage - 911: There was a burglary

Dossier D'enquête

1) On the page "Donnés importantes", you can see the papers used to keep together the piles of bills. How much money in total was stolen?

 

2) Look at the "Donnés importantes". The jewels that were stolen each left a mark in the jewelry boxes. The marks form 5 different polygons or shapes. in which box can you find a :

a) triangle équilatéral?

b) triangle isocèle?

c) un hexagone?

d) un octagone?

 

3) Here's the value of each of the jewels:

- one diamond - 100$ (there were 8)

- one ruby - 65$ (there were 9)

- one sapphire - 85$ (there were 7)

 

Find the value of each of the sets of jewel stolen from each of the boxes

Box A - What was the total value of sapphires stolen?

Box B - What was the total value of rubies stolen?

Box C - What was the total value of diamonds stolen?

 

Question Défi

We found the numbers that helped the burglar figure out the code to the safe. Le code is made up of only multiples of 12.

Find all the multiples of 12 and then put them in increasing order.

What the code for the safe?
