Solving Problems involving Area My mathematicians worked hard as they solved problems, drew representations, and calculated area. Lots of great thinking going on! Exploring Magnetism These young scientist made some amazing discoveries as we explored magnetism. Students rotated to different stations to investigate magnetism in various ways. Geometry Scavenger Hunt and Chatterpix After a long morning taking a STAAR Ready tests, we were all ready for fresh air and movement. We went on a geometry hunt looking for 2D and 3D shapes in the real world. Using the ipads, students took photos on Chatterpix and then made a recording describing the attributes from the point of view of the shape. These were saved to Google drive, so be sure to ask your child to share their work with you. Jazz Concert We enjoyed the listening to jazz music during our annual jazz concert. A few lucky students were chosen to participate in one of the songs, including Alexandria! Reviewing 3D Shapes on Desmos We played an interactive game to review attributes of 3D shapes. The game is similar to Guess Who. Students chose a shape and their partner had to ask questions to determine the shape. Such a fun, engaging way to improve questioning skills and review geometry. Constructing 3D Shapes Miss Boldt facilitated a lesson on 3D shapes which included building various 3D shapes with pipe cleaners and straws. I was at my math meeting, but it looks like the kiddos were working hard. This is always a fun, engaging way to develop an understanding of geometry and attributes of 3D shapes.
