I decided to mix it up a bit in class yesterday and worked cooperatively on applying our knowledge of measurements in real life objects. Based on some feedback I received regarding the follow-up homework I wanted to clarify a few things...
- Based on our pre-assessment, it indicated that our class had a strong understanding of measurement conversion (inches to feet). Consequently, we haven't spent as much time as we might have on this and worked on higher level skills associated with measurement. However, despite the conversion piece, they were instructed to maintain a consistent unit of measure with the context of each object (all cm., all ft., or all in.) in this activity.
- This activity was exactly what the "application" part of the report card looks like. Can you take your skills/understanding from isolation to real world examples?
- Cooperatively, we worked on measuring the six objects from around the room to provide two things: a different dynamic and an opportunity to practice with peers rather than individually or with a teacher.
In the end, please continue to provide me feedback so that I can strengthen the connection between how we are working on concepts in class and what kinds of things you can do at home with the homework assignments.
As for today, we will be taking a quiz in Math that I hope to send home today.
Have a safe Thanksgiving!
