Using Number Cards

At ACS, all kids in grades K-4 have a math box.  It is full of little math games and activities that kids can do alone or with a partner to practice math.  One of the things in math boxes is number cards.  Here is one way we use number cards in our math boxes.


Divisibility Rules

Today in 5/6 we reviewed what we know about divisibility rules by having pairs of students make posters and present their understanding of divisibility rules.

Learning About Shapes

Multiplying by 12!

What Can You Build With Triangles?

What Can You Do With 3 Triangles?

The third and fourth grade class looked at this project where someone took 4 square frames and made a bunch of things out of them.  They took the ideas they saw in what you can make with 4 squares and decided to see what they could make with 3 equilateral triangles. 

Here is what they found!









After sharing lots of ideas about what you can build with 3 triangles, we put more triangles together and made other things.
