What a great day! All the shirts, posters, Legos, bracelets, and necklaces were terrific! It was neat to celebrate all the learning that has taken place over the last 100 school days together.
In honor of today, we played a game to see which number would be rolled the most if we rolled a die 100 times. We had mixed results…do you know why? Post a comment on why you think we all had different answers.
We’ve been tracking the days of the school year and we’re REALLY close to 100! To celebrate all of our hard work, we’re going to have a special math day, Thursday, February 7. Wear a decorated shirt, necklace, bracelet, or bring in a collection showing 100 items to show the class. It will be a super fun day AND you’ll earn extra credit for your extra effort! What a deal!
Today we combined our knowledge of perimeter (all the way around the sides) with area (length x width). We used our graph paper to review perimeter and then used squares to demonstrate covering the shape to find the area. After we used these items, we moved to more difficult multiplication. Boy, it was tough. We had to remember our facts…(which are a bit rusty) and the steps needed for more complicated multiplication problems. Tonight we had homework, page 35 (only 4-5 problems). Remember, if you need help, ask for it!
