Oct 18 2011 New Math Unit ~ Do you think we’ll MEASURE up? Today
we started an new unit for math. The grade 7 and 8′s will be
studying measurement. In this first unit of measure we will be
looking at metric conversions, area of a rectangle (review),
area of a triangle (3 ways), area of paralellogram and area of a
circle. To start off our unit we spent some time working on our
measuring skills. We measured things in class and outside ~
enjoying a beautiful fall day. Even jumping in some leaves for
good measure – Ha! Does your class do fun things at the
beginning of new units? Let me know what they are, just reply
with a comment!
