Morning Routine

Math – The students measured some challenging lengths – zigzag lines, spiral lines, around the carpet, around a curve, etc using strings and cube-a-links. They had to be creative problem solvers as they were not given instructions on how to complete their measuring tasks. They did amazing! So many inventive methods were used as there were not enough blocks to cover the whole distance!

Math – We did one more rotation of the measurement activity the students were working on this morning as the tape had to be removed from the floor by the end of the day. They showed even more proficiency and understanding this afternoon which was great to see!
