Math: We did two easier math lessons today. First we talked about congruent figures. They remembered that congruent means same shape and same size; position doesn't matter. We also talked about using several congruent figures to create one larger shape. For example, using three congruent triangles to form a trapezoid.

Our second lesson was on recognizing quadrilaterals. We learned that a quadrilateral is a four sided shape. We talked about the use of hatch marks to tell us which sides of the shape are the same. These are small straight lines.

Next we talked about parallel lines. If two lines are parallel that means they can go on forever and never touch. We also use hatch marks to show parallel lines. These lines are arrows. Finally we talked about how some shapes can also be classified as another. For example, A square is rhombus because it has four equal sides and two pairs of parallel lines.

UOI: We talked about photosynthesis! We watched a video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D1Ymc311XS8&t=13s

 
Next we talked about what photosynthesis is and then we made a leaf in order to show what comes into the leaf and what goes out. It was such a fun craft!!
