Day in the life of Mathematician- Shape Style

We start each day with our Calendar Math

We opened our math lesson with a story about shapes

We then took a math pre-assesssment, looking at our knowledge both of two dimensional and three dimensional shapes

We went into a math workshop in which students were working on different tasks. Some students were completing worksheets, some were using the number bonds app on the iPad, and some were playing math games.
