Fudge Fractions! Heroes In History!

Being proactive, thinking like a mathematician.
Today the children were given a math Exemplar. Together they had to find a solution and explain their solution.
 

 










 


What is a hero?  Yesterday the children discussed this.  As you can imagine we had a wide array of answers.
Then, we began to learn about a famous person, Jackie Robinson.
The children made connections to the struggles of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Mr. Robinson right away! This was really cool to see. The children understood how it is important to be proactive and to think win, win even when it may be difficult.  "Even those guys did that!"
The children recalled facts about this famous man and made connections to goals that they have for themselves!
Ask your child to share what they remember about this famous American from the past.
