We will be having several guests visit our classroom throughout the year.
Do you know anyone who could visit our classroom and tell us about his/her job and how they use math??? Let me know!!
Class Guests:
Check back here for classroom news.
"News from Previous Years":
2009 - 2011:We had some guests visit our class in past years!
- Amanda visited from WPI (Worceser Polytechnic Institute) to talk about civil engineering and bridges. She was able to challenge the class with an engineering problem!
- Mrs. Fortin (Sean J.'s mom) talked about her career as an architect and showed us examples of different types of structures. She then helped students solve a problem to find the area of a deck and a roof and what it would cost to build.
- Erica & Megan taught students origami by creating paper cranes during the last day of math classes.
"Pi Activities":
In honor of Pi Day (3/14), we have done some special activities in math and on the Purple Team. We learn about the relationship between pi, circumference and diameter. Each class will also compete to see who in each class can memorize the most digits of Pi.
