Social Distancing Day 5

Math

Chapter 9 Lesson 5

This lesson simply shows students that some shapes can be made from combining other shapes (composite shapes) which is a precursor to teaching equal parts.

If you do not possess the math pages, you can show your child how a regular hexagon can be made from two trapezoids and trapezoids can be made using 3 equilateral triangles. Note: the lesson does not talk about a square being made from 2 trangles as the shapes in our pattern blocks are only equilateral and not right triangles. But, 2 equilateral triangles can together form a rhombus.

Writing

If we chose to revise for a second day, we might chose to enrich our writing with an anecdote. We do this by adding a narrative about our own experience going to the location which we are writing about.
