My Very Own Room

We have been learning about 3D shapes and measurement in math. We decided to bring in some real world application. The students were challenged to create their very own room using mathematical skills. They used area to measure their carpet, wallpaper, 3D shapes to create their furniture. They recorded their work and reflections in a mini book with guiding questions. They turned out awesome!!

3D shapes!

We have been learning all about 3D shapes! We created 3D shapes using toothpicks and marshmallows. The students had to record the attributes on a notecard (shape name, # of vertices, # of edges, # of bases). We had fun!
