In mathematics, we have started to explore the concept of area. Students selected an area to measure, and whatever tool they wanted to use ( varying from Pokemon cards to popsicle sticks! ). We have discussed the importance of estimating and making logical guesses. If you have a coffee table, desk, tile flooring, etc. ask your child to measure the area with a non-standard unit of measurement that you can find around the house ( coasters, playing cards, to name a few ). Make sure you both estimate ahead of time, see who is the closest! Merci :)
