Math class is always so exciting! Students constantly come up with new ways to think about numbers and problems, that we often end up learning more than we expected.
FRACTIONS -
Yes, we had CONGRESS, and we learned A LOT!

You can find these notes in your son/daughter's math journals! |
MATH ROUNDS!
Students rotated through SIX stations to practise their fraction skills and put their knowledge to the test! Through this experience, students were able to share their learning, learn from one another, and reflect on what they need to learn on. In preparation for their upcoming test, students have been engaging in these activities with partners and are studying with one another. It's great to see such effective teamwork!
MEASUREMENT - We went outside to see how many ways we can use measurement!
