Getting creative using math





Mathematicians got creative today in room 45.  They visualized an animal, real or made up and drew that animal.  Once they completed their drawing they had to explain to their partner how they used math and numbers in their planning and in their final product.  This fabulous drawing was a cow, unicorn, lion with four legs, one horn, four tails, ten spots, etc.  This was a fun way to wrap up our work on numbers 1-5.  Ask your chid about their animal.  Maybe make an animal drawing at home and share your thoughts about the number of body parts, fur design, etc.
