Fractions!

We have begun our math unit on fractions. We have looked at comparing and ordering fractions as well as equivalent fractions and fractions on a number line. I am including a sample problem solving question that we worked on in class today. Feel free to go over it with your child!

3D Geometry

We will have a short 3D geometry assessment this Thursday. Students will need to know how how to match 3D figures with their nets, the definitions of pyramids and prisms, how to describe 3D figures (number and shape of faces, number of vertices and edges). Necessary information and example questions can be found in work they have completed and the homework that was assigned yesterday.
Thank you!
