Last week we had some fun in math while learning how to find the median of a number. First we learned the steps of putting a set of numbers in order from least to greatest, and then identified the median by finding the middle number. Then we went to the rug to throw some bean bags. We used the data we got from each group of students to find the median number.
We recently learned about symmetry in math class. We looked at some images of actual snowflakes and noted the beautiful symmetry in snowflakes. Then we tried our hand at drawing our own while trying to maintain lines of symmetry in our designs. They turned out beautiful!
In the last few weeks we have all been learning about using SeeSaw in our classroom. The students have learned how to complete activities, use the microphone to record their answers, and most recently take a picture of their work to upload to their journal. Last Friday the students completed a fraction activity around the room and then used their ipads to take a picture for their SeeSaw journal. This is exciting to have new and different ways to show and share our learning! It's always great to get out of our seats to do our learning and incorporating technology is fun too!
The students have been learning about graphs all year. Last week each student came up with a graph topic, asked classmates for their responses, recorded the responses in a tally chart, and made a bar graph for the information gathered. These activities are always so fun when the students can be up and out of their seats and applying their math skills at the same time!
