A Brief Update

Yesterday I introduced two new math puzzles to the fourth graders. They are pictured below. Both puzzles came from Greg Tang (www.gregtangmath.com and tangmath.com). They are fun ways for the students to practice problem solving and basic facts at the same time. They seem to really enjoy doing these math puzzles! Ask your favorite fourth grader to tell you about them.

 We have begun making our Christmas ornaments in my homeroom. To say that the fourth graders are excited to make their ornaments would be an understatement! :)
