Math students in the Resource Room are hard at work!  We are working on a variety of enrichment activities and also spend some time each week fine-tuning and increasing speed on basic fact drills.
Here is what each grade is working currently working on:
Grade 1 is busy exploring patterns. Students will be challenged to make quilt patterns using the pattern blocks.
Grade 2 is looking at math problems that can be found in fairy tales.  Exactly how long is Rapunzel's hair?  How many jelly beans are on the cottage in Hansel and Gretel?  How much does the beanstalk grow each day?
Grade 3 is learning about and comparing three very different number systems.  We are getting ready to jump into base-three number systems.
Grade 4 is learning about how algebra concepts can be found at a shopping mall.
Grade 5 is solving real life math problems. The students read about a specific person's career and then solve math problems encountered by that person in their job.  We will encounter a vet, sanitation worker, farmer, auto mechanic and more.
Grade 6 is busy threading needles and making geometric string designs.  They are beautiful...and challenging.
