Monday, February 10

In math today, we were looking at different ways that we could represent portions of a container.  We discovered that some containers could be represented in more than one way (fraction, percent, decimal) while others could only easily be represented with a fraction.

We began to create a graph showing the growth of our tomatoes.  In partners, students are measuring the height of one L and one M seed tomato and creating a line graph as the growth is continuous data.  We are also recording the number of leaves on each plant.

We began our blueprints for our lunar colony.  Through the project, students will be using what they know about area, perimeter, volume, plotting coordinates on a Cartesian plane, fractions and percent.  We look forward to sharing our work with you at our upcoming learning celebration.
