We are a few days into our new Geometry unit. Students are learning to use math words like 'sides' and 'vertices' to describe different shapes, and are exploring the concept of angles, and parallel lines as further properties to classify shapes by. Earlier this week, your child brought home their 'angle arms' to demonstrate angles that are right angles, greater than a right angle, and less than a right angle. These are known as 'benchmark angles', and help children to develop a beginning awareness of this geometric property. Check out some of our new thinking on our math wall...
We are wrapping up our study of linear measurement. Below is a photo of the many discoveries we had while learning about our metric system. Next stop...geometry!!
