Today we started a new unit in math centered around measuring and geometry. This morning we were able to use a centimeter ruler to measure objects around the room and practice drawing line segments. We will also be exploring 2D and 3D Shapes as well as solving for the perimeter of a shape. Be on the lookout for shapes around on the house and in the community. Below please find the most recent parent letter.

Today we started a new math unit.. YAY! We will be using new tools, rulers, to help us measure line segments, draw shapes and solve for perimeter ( distance around a shape). Our main focus will be describing shapes by their name, the numbers of angles and the number of sides that they have. We will also be investigating 3-Dimensional shapes and using BIG geometry terms such as, faces, prism and area. Here is a copy of the most recent parent letter:
Math Update
We are extending our study of geometry and measurement to using a line plot to show data. Today we measured the height of our classmates and displayed the results in a line plot. In the next few days, we will be using many units of measurements including meters, inches, feet and yards. Below find the most recent parent letter ( click on the image below for a clearer picture) 🙂
