Our study of geometry continued and we got to know the attributes of quadrilaterals a bit better. We applied what we know about quadrilaterals and made up our own quadrilateral riddles. We sent home these riddles, along with the set of possible quadrilaterals on Friday. Try and solve your riddle with your Temescalian! We also […]
We started this week continuing our study of quadrilaterals and polygons. Last week, we talked about what makes each quadrilateral unique. This week, we applied our knowledge of these 2D shapes to try and create them using toothpicks and geoboards. We read Grandfather Tang and made our own set of 7 tangrams from a large […]
We started the week with a new math unit on geometry and Temescalians were tasked with identifying what makes a quadrilateral called a rectangle different from other quadrilaterals. Many had the basic understanding that it had 4 sides, with one pair of sides that were longer than the other. Reminding and introducing vocabulary for the […]
In math, we continued to look at the area of an object. Looking at the shape of a rectangle may not always give you enough information to know what its area is. We started the week by having the Temescalians create an array of 100 tiles. Some groups made 4 rows of 25. Some made […]
