Fourth grade math
Purple group: This week and next we will be preparing for Math Night, coming Tuesday, March 6, so we began discussing how students will prepare for this special event. In geometry, we reviewed properties we could use to describe different kinds of polygons: the number of sides; one, two, or more pairs of parallel sides; or whether they have right angles. Then we reviewed quadrilaterals, polygons with four sides, and some special kinds of polygons: parallelograms, rectangles, squares, rhombuses, and trapezoids. Students took assessments on quadrilaterals, and continued work on their JUMP packets.
Fifth grade math
Fifth graders took their first look at area and perimeter today. They used geoboards to figure out the areas of irregular polygons, puzzled over the relationship between area and perimeter, and worked to answer the questions: what happens to the area of a square when you double the length of one side? the perimeter?
Buddy Service Learning
Students met with the kindergarten and first grade buddies today to finish posters for an upcoming Bake Sale, on Thursday, March 8, to raise money for the Marine Mammal Center. More news will be coming soon!
