We have been studying geometry in math. So far we have compared shapes based on their sides and angles. When we compared different quadrilaterals we discovered that there are 3 categories: parallelograms, trapezoids, and shapes without any parallel sides. For this activity we used geoboards and recorded our findings on geodot paper.
In math we have started Tangrams.Tangrams are a Acient Chinesse Puzzle. 1 set of Tangrams is 7 pieces. 2 big Triangles,2 small triangles,1 medium triange, 1 square and 1 Paralalagram. We were asked to make a paralalagram with 3 pieces and then a rectangle with 3 pieces and then a triangle with 3 pieces and then a trapizoid with 3 pieces. After we had to make all those shapes with 5 pieces then all those shapes with 7 pieces! We tried and tried but we were so frazzeled we couldn’t think of how to do it! But we had a fun time trying with Tangrams! By: Kaitlynn.B and Carson 
One skill that we are working on in our classroom is to express our personal opinions about ideas presented in media texts. We have also begun talking about Point of View and thinking about the audience when we are reading and writing.

This month we have been measuring perimiters in math and learning how to make reasonable estimates. Alot of people are getting good at measureing perimeters and geting wright estimates.Some people have tryed shapes like squares and got a little messed up because there were some small spaces in what they were trying to do. so they had to use a different shapes like me and patrick. We were using triangels. And then the shape needed alot of square sided shapes so we tryed it and it worked . By CHRIS
