Happy Halloween - well almost! Here are some quick math updates for Knowledge Peak students... Third grade math has begun our unit on measurement. This week we have been making sure our measurement skills are secure to the 1/4 of an inch and to 1/2 of a centimeter. the students also looked at conversions of unit from bigger to smaller in both the metric and the U.S. systems of measurement. We'll be exploring perimeter, area, and circumference in the next couple of weeks with more application and problem solving involved. Fourth grade math students took some time last week to create some Halloween math. They had to think creatively to make a geometric math monster and label the elements of geometry. To add an extra element of fun, students were asked to imagine that the monster had invaded our school and create "wanted" posters, including rewards, names and descriptions if they wanted. Below are some examples of their creations. Otherwise in math, we have been working on our unit covering multiplication and division concepts and some basic algebra understanding. We have been working on understanding order of operations, inequalities, factors & multiples, and prime & composite. We'll continue that work through next week. Fifth grade has begun the Stock Market Game. We have spent a week learning about what the stock market is, how to research a stock, and how to make a trade within the website for our "game." Students are paired up with another 5th grader. Trading officially begins today and will continue until April 15. Here are the rules of the game:
