Math
We used rulers for the first time this year to measure objects around the room. We measured to the nearest 1/2 centimeter. After recording our measurements, each student compared their results with another student.
We even measured Mrs. Krause's ear! AHHH!
After learning about the properties of a square and a rectangle, we tried creating them ourselves. We checked our work by measuring each of the sides. It took more than one try for most of us to make a perfect rectangle or a perfect square.
SHE DID IT!
Working with unifix cubes to solve math stories.
Angry Bird Cause and Effect Posters
Almost everyone can relate to the popular game Angry Birds! We used them as an example of a cause and effect relationship. The bird in a slingshot being the cause and the brick towers falling being the effect. This project also gave us great practice in working as a team.
