Here is a glimpse of 3rd grade getting down and all around with perimeter. Students participated in this hands on, fun way to learn what perimeter is all about. Up next is area!

The 3rd and 4th graders in Mrs. Saunders' math class just wrapped up a fraction unit. Students played fraction games, made flip books, and made fraction pizza.
Students in 5-8 grade math classes have been busy working on projects since Spring Break. Geometry is a unit that allows for many hands-on activities. Fifth graders created bi-lateral bunnies by following careful directions and cutting out specific polygons. Later they also had a chance to see math in real life by measuring various boxes and items in the classroom and calculating the volume. On a bright sunny day, sixth graders were able to get outside to apply their knowledge of proportions. By measuring a friendʼs height and shadow, they were able to calculate the actual height of large objects by measuring their shadows. Students in seventh grade became the experts in geometry. Each student studied a various topic and created a Keynote presentation to teach the rest of the class. They did a great job incorporating various learning styles as well! Lastly, eighth graders became authors and illustrators to write their own childrenʼs story about geometry. Each student created an inventive story using twenty geometry terms, illustrated their pages, and then shared them with the first grade. It was great to see how students put their creativity and intellect to use! |
