Study Guide Due Thursday!

Study Guide Due Thursday!

Let me know if you find any of this challenging so we can go over it in class tomorrow.  Green class-  We didn't have the chance to review in class today, so we will need to review tomorrow.  It may be harder for you to complete it tonight, but don't be discouraged.  We will review more tomorrow.

For everyone, the study guide includes multiplying fractions...  Find a hint below and a video to review what you need to do!

Have a great night!

More volume!

Complete both sides of the worksheet tonight!  Feel free to use a calculator and work carefully!  See you tomorrow!

Volume!

It was a blast playing with our building blocks today in class!  Do your best on the worksheet tonight and if you get stuck, grab the blocks you used to play with when you were younger, or play around on the computer with your drawing tools to try to make each shape on your own!  We will spend quite a bit of time looking at our shapes in 3D tomorrow, so if you feel frustrated, I promise it will be better in class tomorrow!



Remember, the first dimension is length.  Like a line.

The second dimension is area.  Any flat item.

The third dimension is depth.  Any solid figure.

The fourth dimension is time.  Where a solid figure exists at any given point in space and time.

The Fifth Dimension is a singing super group from the 70's...



Have a great night and complete both sides of tonight's volume worksheet!

Nets!

We made nets for all of our boxes in class today!  Bright paper, tracing and everyone trying to get their hands on scissors and tape!

NO Homework!

For those of you that are enjoying creating and crafting the shapes we have made and want to try more on your own, take a look at this website, Math Craft, to see tons of other cool mathy/arty projects like the ones below!

-Miss K  :)

Nets of a cube!

Today we explored nets a bit more!  We built tetrahedrons, hexahedrons, octahedron, dodecahedrons, and icosahedrons yesterday, but today we only worked on hexahedrons, otherwise known as cubes!

There are eleven unique possible nets that can be used to create a cube and you worked in small groups to discover all of them!  These are the answers:



Have a good night!  We're going to play with shapes again tomorrow!!!!  No Homework!

-Miss K  :)

Platonic Solids!

Today we made platonic solids in our classroom!

You can make all five platonic solids using the nets above.  Or you can Google each of the shapes for larger templates.  Color them in, cut them carefully and tape them up!

Tonight's homework is to bring in your box if you haven't brought one in yet!

Have an awesome day and enjoy the nice weather!

-Miss K  :)

Find a box!

Tonight's homework is to bring in a box by Wednesday.  It must be something that you wouldn't mind being used in class.  IT MAY GET DAMAGED, so don't bring in anything precious!  Keep it shoe box size or smaller.  The funkier the shape, the better!!!

Check out the videos from class today in the post two posts ago!

Quiz Today!

Thank you for your hard work on the quiz today!  I hope to have it graded by mid-week next week!

Have a great weekend!

Infographic Assignment

Hello all!  Happy April Fool's Day!  Thanks for not tricking me today!

As you know, we began working on our infographics today in class.  The ones I showed you in class as well as some additional infographics are included in this previous post.  Please click on the link to see the various pictures and watch the videos.

We will finish our infographics in class tomorrow and will include the following items in our projects:

• Area of a square
• Area of a rectangle
• Area of a parallelogram
• Area of a triangle
• Area of a trapezoid
• Perimeter
• Area of irregular figures

If you have any questions about the assignment, please check in with me tomorrow during class to review the requirements, discuss ideas, get help being creative, etc!

Thanks and have a good night!

More Trapezoids

I just realized that I didn't post yesterday or Tuesday!!!!  WOW!  We've been doing so well in class, that I forgot some people might want tutorials!

We've been working on trapezoids yesterday and today.

Here are the two tricky problems from class today:

Have a great weekend!  Remember, we have a quiz next Friday!  Happy Easter to those of you that are celebrating!!!

-Miss K  :)

No Homework Tonight!

Thank you for your hard work on the Prognosis Test.  If you haven't completed the test, we will find a time for you to do so in the next couple of days!  Please check in with me if you need to arrange a time outside of class.

No homework!  Have a lovely Passover if you are celebrating the holiday!  I will be going to a family friend's house for my Seder this evening!

See you tomorrow when we will continue working with irregular figures and attending a presentation on the upcoming Math-a-thon tomorrow.

-Miss K  :)

More Triangles!!!!

Please complete the "More Area Problems" worksheet for homework tonight.  You may use a calculator!

-Miss K  :)

Discovering the Area of Triangles

Everyone did an excellent job of creating posters explaining how we determine the area of a triangle!  Tonight's homework is to complete worksheet 4-6 on Triangles.  You may use a calculator.  Be sure to include labels as you work; area is squared!

A = Base times Height divided by 2

Minute to Win It!

I hope that everyone enjoyed class today!  I know that I had a blast!

Here are the results!

In the Cup Stack, Red and White Class had the high score with 7 cups stacked at the end of a minute!!!!

The Pencil Bounce had four winners that got all 10 pencils in the container!  There was a ten in red and green classes and two people got tens in blue class!!!

The pasta pick up had a winner in red class and white class, and they tied with 13 pieces of pasta!

The candy carry was dominated by green class in which one person was able to transfer 19 pieces of candy!

Here's the data below!  (Sorry it is a little messy!  It was hard to transfer so much data with the colors, etc.)

Tomorrow in class we will use excel to find the mean, median, mode and range!  Then we begin our second look at Geometry!

No homework tonight!  Have a great night!

-Miss K  :)
