This week we went up to the library with Mrs. Kulis' first grade mathematicians. We had a big math lesson in the library! Mrs. Abele-Austin and Mrs. Daigle took us on a geometry-filled adventure!
We read Perfect Square, written by Michael Hall. Mrs. Daigle read the story to us and helped us notice details in the illustrations and text.
Mrs. Abele-Austin talked to us about squares. We discussed what made a square a square. Is it still a square when it is sideways, upside down, or crooked? (Yes!)
After we read about this incredible, transforming square, Mrs. Abele-Austin introduced us to the "Perfect Triangle." We were able to create our own illustrations by using triangles! We had hole punches, scissors, fancy pattern scissors, and glue sticks.
Some mathematicians made flowers, boats, airplanes, tree houses and rockets!
