Translations

Not only did we learn the Translation Hustle Dance . . Do the Hustle, but we manipulated figures before we glued them to our journal.

 

Symmetry

This week we are continuing our geometry unit with testing lines of symmetry and connecting that with our knowledge of transformations (reflections specifically) and congruency.  We also introduced a new math tool.  I just call it the Red Mirror.  It helps us see the reflected figure and to test lines of symmetry.  Really cool!

Look, We are using our journals!

We often refer to our journals when in need.  We are defining 2D and 3D figures based only on attributes.

3D Figures

Our journal entry for 3D figure vocabulary.

More Polygon Attributes

Today we added to our journal.  In fourth grade, we will define and identify 2D figures by their attributes.  We created two journal pages to help us organize the attributes.
