Les mathématiques à la maison: March 3rd to 6th

Recently, a few students asked about having a seating change. We decided to turn this suggestion into a math activity, involving some geometry, positional language, the decomposition of 16 ( the number of students we have in our class ) and mapping! Below are some photos of how students planned their  layouts using tiles, and how we came together as a group to look at all of the different classroom setups. Have your child map out their bedroom, including their door, window and pieces of furniture. See if they can re-organize their room ( on paper! ) in a different way. We discussed why the desks in our class couldn't be placed in front of the door, facing a wall, etc. so hopefully they can show the same rationale when planning at home. Enjoy!
