Hi Class,

Hi Class,
Videogames have been shown to improve problem solving skills and reaction times, but in this case we are using the game tetris to show our understanding of transformations (and development of spatial awareness). Starting at the centre of the screen, I want you to translate and rotate blocks (and I also want you to do well in math!)

Try to beat my high score of:
Once you finish with tetris, please study reflections,rotations, and translations through pacman.

Hello everyone,
Here is a short update of what we did this week:
Although this week was short it was packed full of events. In Math our geometric constructions are nearing completion.Things are also beginning to develop in our inquiry into trade and resources. To do so, our class took part of a role-playing game where everyone in the class pretended to be a country and had to trade resources with other ‘countries’ around the class. Lastly, Thursday was our district track meet. I am happy to say that our athletes shone bring like stars!
Things are starting to take shape
Resource tokens and ‘money’
By now most of you should have seen the fruits of our labour this week as we made photo transfers as our Mother’s Day gift
