We have been focusing on daily math practices. This week we did MP. 5 Using appropriate tools strategically. We talked about how good math thinkers know how to pick the right tools to solve problems. We also talked about how math might be difficult this year and that we will think critically to solve math problems. Ask your child about the butterfly that struggled and what happened in the end of the story.
My fourth grade friends used tools(tangram blocks) to design a quilt and to create a pattern. We also talked about lines of symmetry, acute and obtuse angles, and labeled the shapes as we used them.
