Hello Wee-ones!
This past week we have had a blast applying our Math skills of measurement, area, and perimeter to design and construct a building in a Leprechaun Village.
First we hoped we were channeling the lucky of the Irish when, with a partner, we randomly selected the building we were going to be responsible for designing. Some of us pulled the Leprechaun Police Station and School, while others were now responsible to design the Dance Studio and Sports Stadium. Partners quickly got to work designing our respective buildings.
The next day we choose boxes Mr. Font collected to stand for the base of our building based on our design. We were responsible for measuring our box, finding the perimeter, and area. Mr. Font even taught us a wee bit about a fourth grade measurement skill called volume to find out how many units cubed our buildings will hold. Lastly we divided our building into smaller rooms and found the area and perimeter of our smaller rooms.
Finally, it was time to design. Room #21 was covered in green paper and shamrocks as we worked together to make our buildings look like our design. It was so much fun! Our finished buildings, and the Math behind it, can be found on our Seesaw accounts. Check it out!
