Assembly Presentation on Monday

Homework
4th Grade Math - Tangram puzzle pages (and tangram templates as needed) record your solutions and design an original puzzle (due tomorrow).  If you are stuck on the 7 piece square here are two clues:  Clue #1: the two big triangles make half of the square (following the steps we used to cut it out).  This means the other half is an arrangement of the 5 smaller pieces.  Clue #2: (which is a big clue) The medium size triangle forms one corner of the square.  Come in ready to share your solutions and original puzzle tomorrow and solve a classmates' puzzle.  

Students who already solved the first puzzles took home a new puzzle sheet.  The expectation is to choose just a few of the puzzles to try solve with tangrams, not all of them in one night.
