We just started our new math unit on geometry, a unit that allows the students to explore the mathematical concepts in 2- and 3-dimensional shapes and patterns. Please read the parent letter in the sidebar for updates on new concepts taught. Workplaces started again and the students will return to regular Monday homework again.
Here are some of the amazing shapes created by our students. For example, ask your child how many triangles fit inside a hexagon? A trapezoid? Also, ask your child to justify, or tell you how he/she knows that? Encourage your child to look at the pictures and explore the connections between the shapes, while justifying his/her thinking.
