7th Day Learning

Today we played a game called Human Camera.  In this game you have a partner.  One person closes their eyes while the other partner guides them to an open space in the classroom.  then they would whispering of their partners ear, describing in detail a special spot.  The partner with their eyes closed, would "Snap" pictures in their head.  After the partnerships share what "photos were snapped".  We thought this game was fun, you learned about your partners favorite place, people in their lives and activities they like to do!

Today in math class we did paper folding we had a piece of paper that was a square, we folded the paper into fourths (triangles and squares).  One of are classmate's says she loved it because we got to fold the paper into fractions. As a challenge we tried to make a square that was half of the original square or make more triangle fourths but the triangle had to be different then the original triangle. We had to use a growth mindset to stay positive while we did difficult paper folding. We played a game called skeptic and convincer during paper folding. The convincer had to convince the skeptic that his/ her fourths were fourths and were triangles. The skeptic has to ask questions to try to make the convincer think harder and make their claim more accurate. The skeptic can not be easily convinced. It was a blast! Best math ever!  Written by Chloe and Tess
