Unit 7: Fractions and Their Uses: Chance and Probability
We are learning different ways to use, change, and reduce fractions. We are making connections to probability and how it relates to fractions.

Here is a fun video that explains probability in an interesting way. I learned some new things that I didn't know before. Check it out!

This is Bill Nye's video on probability.

Probability Practice
In small groups we tried to identify the probability of certain things happening from likely to unlikely. Take a peek at our guesses.

Unit 8: Perimeter and Area
We are learning how to calculate area and perimeter. We are making connections to our lives by looking at the perimeter of our kitchens. Also, we examine the area of a rectangle, parallelogram, and triangle.

Classroom Perimeter
We decided to try to estimate the perimeter of our classroom and then we measured it in groups with tape. Some people really got into it!
Perimeter Name Drawing
To better understand the concept of perimeter, we creating our names in block letters and counted the perimeter of each letter and the total name. Check to see if we did it correctly.
