Math About Me

I started thinking about this math idea in August.  Most of us finished it up today and I have been entertained reading their final products.

First we learned about folding vertically and horizontally.

Then we used the lines from the creases to make eight boxes.

Next we chose eight of the numbers we liked from our brainstorm/practice page and put them in each box.

We colored the background of the boxes.

Today we worked on the information page.  We had to make sure the box with the number matched the box with the information about why that number was an important piece of our lives.  The first one is mine...always have an example of what you expect...bonus points to anyone who can figure out why I picked 42:-)

And a student example

And finally do any of you have a brilliant way to keep desks together and where they belong...that doesn't involve duct taping the carpet?

Happy Tuesday,
