Unfortunately, both of my daughters were sick this week, so I was only able to see my Monday and Tuesday classes. I was NOT happy about this!!! My 3rd graders have been learning about surface area. We have been using this new knowledge to figure out how many cans of frosting we would need in order to frost the top and 4 sides of 12 pieces of cake. We will continue to work on this next week.
In 4th grade, we continued to play probability games involving spinners and discussed what it means to be a fair game. Next, we will be using what we learned in this unit to design our own carnival games that are slightly unfair. After all, the carnival owners have to make some money! They can't have their customers winning all the time!
In 5th grade, we started to learn how to make our game images move by changing the input along the x and y axis. Next, we will learn how to prevent these images from flying off the screen never to return. We also began working on our own video games, applying all of the info we learned to fix a broken game and make it our own.
