National Pi Day!! (3/14)

Yesterday (3/14) was national Pi Day!

I celebrated with my 7th grade geometry kids! It was a good time!

The first thing I did with them was read "Sir Cumference and The First Round Table". 

After we read that I handed out Oatmeal Creme "Pies"! They took the pie and had to find the radius, diameter, and the circumference. Then they could eat it!

After we did the Oatmeal Creme Pie activity I showed a "Pi Day Rap" from you tube.

What did you do for Pi Day?

Big Announcement!

Sorry that I've been M.I.A. for awhile! I have a lot to update you on!

For starters I would like to show you some geometry projects my 6th graders have been doing!

One of the projects we've done is working with Coordinate Planes (which aligns with the common core standards!) They used graph paper to plot points to make their initials in box letters. They have to draw the points and then connect the dots to make their letters. Here are how they turned out!

The class is only a 6 week class so their final project was to make a design using 5 given geometric shapes. 

They were to use a Triangle, Square, Rectangle, Octagon, and Circle. For extra credit they were to find one 3D figure. 

Below are some of my favorites! 

One of my students made a Stegosaurus!

This student made a little character

This student made a scrapbook

This student also made a little character.

This student made a holiday feast! Yum!
