4AB Math Class
With Ms. Ramsey 03-10-17
Dear families,
We continued to work on classifying angles, measuring angles, and constructing angles with the protractor! Most students can use a protractor correctly, but I did notice students are making some 2 major errors:
1) Classifying an angle as acute or obtuse angles, then using the protractor and writing the wrong angle measure.
2) Naming angles incorrectly (the vertex should always be the middle letter)
Their homework does not have any that require them to use a protractor, but we are working on these skills daily in class. :)
All my love,
Ms. Ramsey
Small Angle Quiz and Homework due 03.16.17
Please encourage your chid to complete the at home Pi Day Hat project for a free 100 in their average!
Pi Day
We will be doing some fun in class Pi Day activities! The MSO will be selling pizza slices from Big Pie In The Sky on Pi Day this year. Big Pie in the Sky pizza slices are cut from a 30" pizza and are bigger than any you have ever seen! The dough is made fresh daily using their original New York Style recipe and only the freshest ingredients.
One slice of cheese or pepperoni pizza plus a bottle of water will be $2. Please send your child with cash if they want pizza next Tuesday, 3/14/17.
