This week was our last week of the math cycle. The 3rd and 4th grade classes demonstrated what they learned by completing a post-assessment. It was amazing to see all the progress we made in just a few short months!
The 3rd graders also began working on a measurement project where they became city planners who must design a playground using skills they've learned in this unit like finding the perimeter that will give us the most area, figuring out how much space each piece of equipment will take up, making a drawing to scale, and much more! This project is something they can continue to work on at home or in their regular class when time permits.
In 4th grade, the students were busy designing their own carnival games. They made sure that the theoretical probability of winning was slightly less than the probability of losing so that the carnival will make money. Once the games are completed, we will invite students from their classes in to play our games!
The 5th graders worked diligently to learn about booleans and conditionals in order to get our game characters moving correctly across the screen. Now students have everything they need to finish coding their own video games! Some students have finished their games. Go to our 5th grade page and give them a try!!!
