Math Week 11-7-16

7th: This week we continue to use proportional thinking and reasoning by applying it to similar figures. We will define the vocabulary of similar figures and then use the vocabulary and similar relationships to solve tasks. We will end this week indirectly measuring the height of the big cottonwood tree in Ray's east field!

8th: We will continue with another building block for students to learn about the language of algebra and how we use that language to understand the world through relationships and patterns. We specifically focus on the distributive property. Over the next few months we will continue to learn how these blocks and others like them come together as a mathematics literacy that helps us make meaning of our world.
