Making Tessellations

We have had so much fun with this project. All entries are due Friday. Below are a couple of videos if you have forgotten how to get started or need a little inspiration.

More on 3D Figures

Do you need a little extra help with parallel edges, parallel faces, congruent faces, and perpendicular faces? It can be difficult to keep all the terms straight. And it is difficult to get everything counted correctly. I have found a few things that you can watch that reviews these concepts.

This one is a little long, but has lots of great information and great graphics!

Can you draw these figures?

A Review of Probability

Today we reviewed experimental probability.

Great video for review.

Fun with Logic Problems

We have had such fun working on logic problems this week. We have spent a lot of time this year talking about making "stronger brains". We talked about how athletes get better at their chosen sport through hard work. Good mathematicians must also work hard to grow strong brains. Logic problems are an excellent way to strengthen reasoning skills. We have tried out a few from the site below. See if you can work any of these problems. HAVE FUN!
