Volumes of Volume

We have had a great week learning about volume. The kids have especially enjoyed rotating geometric solids and creating 3-D shapes. You have to play around a little to get the results you want, but they are loads of fun (and learning)! Have a great Spring Break!

Having fun with Geometry!

We are going to begin geometry this week. This is always a fun and exciting unit to complete, especially as Spring Break gets closer and everyone is thinking about playing outside in the beautiful sunshine! So, have some fun with geomtery by visiting the National Library of Virtual Manipulatives. Click on geometry and play around with the geoboards, triangles, and tangrams - you will not be disappointed. Have fun!

Shall we graph?

Kid's Graph Club is a COOL site! We have used this several times in the classroom. Have fun!

Problems with Probability

This week marks the beginning of a new unit in math. We will be studying mean, median, and mode, types of graphs, and probability! When I was a student, probability was once of my least favorite math topics. Consequently, I feel a little anxious every year as we get closer to the probability chapter. I hope that our new technology equipment (it is all up and working - YEA!) will make probability for fun for all of us! The kids LOVE the coin toss and the spinner. Check these out!

Next week, we will complete a probability project using M&M's! Visit M&M's.com for fun facts and games.

Let's review decimals!

We have had been learning about decimals this week. Everyone has done a great job! Now, let's have some fun and review what we have learned using aaamath.com.
