Math W.O.W. congruent-figures that have the same size and same shape.
This week in math we will continue working with 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional figures and review elapsed time in word problems. Students will learn how to decompose 3-dimensional figures and create their own word problems using elapsed time.
The students did such a creative job designing their own symmetrical figures.

What should my learner be doing at home?
Please pick between these resources and complete 3-4 nights a week for practice at home. From our experience, we feel that 30 minutes is an appropriate amount of time for "home fun". Thank you for supporting us with this!
