Comparing Area

I hope that everyone had a nice Easter break!

Today we were hard at work learning about new things:  we started a new unit in Social Studies about First Nations Peoples and also began an inquiry unit on Frogs.   In Math, we finished a short lesson on Area that we had started before the holiday.

Students explored which had a greater area:  desktop or seat of a chair.  They worked with a partner to see how many playing cards it would take to cover each surface.

Students placed card on their desks to see which had a greater area:  desktop or seat of a chair.

Students lined up the cards without any overlapping!
