Reviewing Subtraction Strategies Our class mathematicians collaborated to show subtraction using various strategies. Each group worked discussed their strategies with the group and determined the most efficient strategy that worked for them. This was a good reminder that there are mathematicians are flexible and use different strategies depending on the problem. Measuring Gardens to Determine the Perimeter It was the perfect day to go outside for some real world math! We worked together to find the perimeter of the 3rd grade garden and the 5th grade garden. Learning From Experts-Visitors from the Austin Zoo! Our guests from the zoo taught us about endangered animals. They even brought a black footed ferret and a python! After the presentation, we all had a chance to touch a tortoise shell and the skin of a python. Check out the photos to see how long a python can be! Calculating Perimeter Mathematicians drew rectangles with a given perimeter. We also solved perimeter problems around the room. Book Club Meetings We had our first book club meetings after reading the first chapter and everyone was very excited. As they read, students recorded what they knew and what they wondered about the character and events in the chapter. This helped them slow down and pay attention to details that will help their comprehension.
