Math

AAA Math

We just started a new math unit called Shapes, Halves, and Symmetry. during this unit the students will investigate geometry and fractions.

They will:

  • Build new designs by covering a large design with smaller shapes.
  • Look for shapes in our environment
  • Look for arrays-for example, in ceiling tile, windows, and the calendar
  • Make the connection between arrays and fractions and multiplication
  • Look for patterns
  • Look for symmetrical designs

Other than our number of the day, they will not be focused on number sense. I added the AAA Math link so they can continue to learn number facts and while working at their own level.

Enjoy the web site and math practice. We worked on the site today in class so they would know how to use it.
