5th Grade Buddies

Yesterday we met up with our 5th grade buddies from Mr. Cottone's class.  We used the Ipad's to reinforce a concept we have been covering in math.  In our math curriculum students have been working on figuring out how to use different shapes to create new ones.  For example: You can use 6 triangles to make a hexagon.  Different shapes can be joined in different ways to fill the same space.  This concept has been a little tricky for the K kiddos.  When we met up with our buddies we played a game called "Slice It," where students had to draw different lines to break up the larger shape into smaller shapes.  Below are a few kids working with their buddies and then also an excerpt from our math workbook to show what the app was reinforcing.  Thanks Buddies!
