Hi:
Mrs. Mayer here, reporting on what has been happening in math. This past week, we discovered a great way to measure the circumference of round objects and the link between diameter and radius. We also learned about pi and found out that it has a direct correlation to the diameter of a circular object, no matter what size it is! We also read a great book called The Greedy Triangle and began classifying the three different types of triangles: equilateral, scalene, and isosceles. On Friday, we went outside and used sidewalk chalk (yes, we had Dr. Mueller's permission) to create and decorate multiple sided polygons.
In the next week, we will use blocks to create and explore new shapes, find different types of lines in our world, and create a study guide for a geometry assessment.
Have a great week!
