Hi There Grade 5!

Hello My Mathematical Magicians,


I am sorry I can't be with you today, but I've left you some things to do. I hope that you work hard, have fun and learn about reflections today. Please be polite and helpful to the sub. I know you will do a great job. Make sure to read all the directions below :)


Tomorrow, when you come to class, I will ask you...


1. What is the mathematical definition of a reflection?
2. To show me that you can reflect over the x and y axis. So be ready!




TO DO:


First, please read this website HERE and try the practice problems with your partner.


Next, read this site and do the activities HERE


Third, write out the letters in my last name  ... CULLINAN... on a piece of paper. Make sure to use capitals with block lettering. How many of them have a vertical (up and down) line of reflection? How many have a horizontal (back and forth) line of reflection?


Now, take the letters in your last name. Do the same thing. TURN IT IN TO THE INBOX.


Lastly, check out this game. HERE. It's fun. Do you see the math in there?


See you tomorrow!

Inspired by Len Cabral

We recently met a very cool storyteller named Len Cabral, who taught us all about storytelling and engaging our audience. You can see his website HERE.

Students in Improv and Public Speaking practiced their own takes on famous stories and we went next door to AES to share them with students. We hope to keep going and do more storytelling with our across the parking lot neighbors!

Please click HERE to see a movie featuring some of our improvers, telling stories to students at AES.
