Class Summary:

Today we finished learned about hexaflexagons and we played games. I hope you had fun with math this semester!

Hexaflexagons:

Here are the links to print more templates:

• Trihexaflexagon
• Hexahexaflexagon

There are some fun videos about hexaflexagons on Khan Academy. Check them out if you want. You can even see a hexaflexagon made out of a food item (I won’t spoil the surprise here).

Class Summary:

This week we worked on fractions. We learned about equivalent fractions, adding and subtracting fractions with and without common denominators, multiplying fractions, and dividing fractions!! Next week is our last week of class!!

Homework for this Week:

• Print the Accountability Sheet and return it to class next week. If you are unable to print it, write down the information on a piece of paper to turn in during class.

• Optional: Watch the following YouTube videos about multiplying and dividing fractions:

• Play a game with a member of your family or a friend. Here are some options:
  • Play a game we have already played in class.
    • Dandelions
    • Neighbors (5×5)
    • Boxed In
    • Tenzi
    • Tic-Tac-Toe Sums or Products with positive number or integers
    • Oddball
    • Hopping Hundred
    • Mancala
    • Magic Grid Trick
    • Battleship
      • Additional guidelines:
        • Ships must be placed on integer coordinates (corners), not fractions or decimals.
        • Ships must be horizontal or vertical, not diagonal.
        • Do not place on the outside line. Keep it in the -6 to 6 range.
  • Rook: You can learn how to play Rook with your family using the deck of cards given in class.
  • Play another game with your family. Most games involve math is some way. Strategy and critical thinking are an important part of math, so those are awesome skills we can practice when playing games.
  • Play a game from this website:
    • MWBD – Games (mathgameswithbaddrawings.com)
    • L.A.P. Game (mathgameswithbaddrawings.com) – This game is similar to battleship, but more challenging. You can try it online by yourself or using graph paper with a friend or family member.

• Optional: Complete the coordinate graphing pictures from class. For each picture you complete, you can get a prize from our treasure chest. I cannot link them due to copyright issues. But if you forgot to pick them up, you can send me a slack message or email. You can turn them in anytime before the end of the school year.

Class Summary:

This week we worked on solving one step and two step equations. There are only two more weeks of class! We also have finished all of the presentations. Everyone did an excellent job! It has been so fun to see what everyone came up with. Math can be found everywhere!!

Homework for this Week:

Presentations:

• Great job on all of your excellent presentations this year!!

Class Summary:

This week we explored the mobius strip. We also saw what happened if you cut around the mobius strip in the middle or in thirds. We viewed some artwork from MC Escher. We learned about Leonhard Euler and solved the Bridges of Konigsberg Puzzle. We also worked on solving equations and completed maze. We simulated solving a multi-step equation by figuring out how much money was in a set of Easter eggs. And we quizzed each other on multiplying and dividing integers.

Homework for this Week:

• Print the Accountability Sheet and return it to class next week. If you are unable to print it, write down the information on a piece of paper to turn in during class.
