During math, we have been trying to work on challenging word problems. The day before Winter Break, we focused on a math problem while simultaneously learned how to make an origami star. You child might have come home with a new holiday decoration... The math problem gave us a brief introduction to geometry and engaged us with division, which is what we are currently learning. We were trying to understand: if the star we are making uses 8 sheets of paper, and the papers are arranged in a circular pattern, how many degrees does each paper take up, given that a circle is 360 degrees? Some "good math practices" seen here include double checking work using inverse operations, representing the answer as a written statement, showing multiple strategies to derive the answer, using visuals to show the work. *Disclaimer: We love to think critically, but don't be too critical of our work! We are budding mathematicians. If you spy an inaccuracy on either of these pages, keep in mind that we are still practicing. We also love to learn from our mistakes.
