1/24 HW / Geometry Performance Tasks

Math

  • HOTS POW due
  • Multiplication timing tomorrow
ELA
  • Spelling contract:
    • we discussed a shorter contract this week:  kids must complete cursive, pretest, and sentences - I wanted all students working on their writer's craft.  If they had time, they could put it into a technology format, but if not, that's ok!  Tomorrow we are going to watch the other half from last week (we had FOURTEEN presentations last week! BOOM!!!!)
Science
  • reread Piedmont mini-book
  • Complete the back page for a grade

The activity was the performance task piece as the culmination of the unit.  Not only did we incorporate math standards, but also listening/viewing/speaking, creativity and opportunities for bodily-kinesthetic learners to really interact with the polygons.  We centered the ideas around geometric reasoning, showing evidence, and collaboration. I am very proud of their hard work!


If that doesn’t work, here are the separate links:
