Another week at Math Institute...


Hope you all are having a wonderful summer!

I heard from a former student today, Haley! She received an early birthday present to use on her upcoming trip to the beach. It's an iPod. She's planning to listen to New Moon by Stephenie Meyer on audio! It's a great book. I hope you enjoy it Haley! Have fun at the beach! See you soon!

Math Institute continues for me this week! Today, we covered order of operations, fractions, and more geometry. I used a new (or at least new to me) kind of compass. It's called a GeoTool, very different from what I used many moons ago. I also learned there's a polygon with seven sides called a heptagon. As a first grade teacher, I only dealt with octagons, pentagons, and hexagons. Pretty cool stuff!
