Ok, architects! Today we are going back to the drawing board and designing our own insect homes. The challenge is that your design must be symmetrical! We'll explore how to do this in class. In the meantime, check out Roberto's designs up close. Here are a few examples of what our symmetrical homes look like so far. We folded a piece of paper in half and drew half of our insect home design. Then, we placed the paper on a window so the light could show through and traced the other side. Ta-da! Symmetry:

How do you know which shapes are congruent? Click here to learn about congruent and similar shapes with Annie and Moby.
Practise solving tangram puzzles online! Mathigon is a free interactive learning platform designed to make mathematics more accessible and and exciting. Click here to play around with the Tangram Builder. Tomorrow we will start learning about 2-D shapes. We kickstarted our unit by exploring and solving tangram puzzles today! Please note, each student should have a set of 7 tans in their Math folder (red) or pencil case. We will be using tangrams in our Math lessons for the next couple of weeks (or so).

Today's Math activity may seem like review. That's because it is! In order to be able to add and subtract numbers we have to really understand numbers, ways of representing numbers, relationships among numbers, and I mean the list goes on. We're starting off this week with a bit of review and then we'll return to adding and subtracting 3-digit (and greater) numbers.
The "Representing Numbers (Review)" activity posted on Seesaw should be completed on Seesaw! |
