Estimating Sums and Differences with Decimals
Below is the link for tonight's HW (Estimating the Sums and Differences with Decimals)
Design-A-Park Gallery Walk
Yesterday students shared their completed Park Projects, including their scale drawing, math analysis of 9 sections in their park, a written reflection and extensions (ranging from analyzing the fraction and percentage devoted to different sections, enlarging a section of their park, and creating a 3-dimensional model online, just to name a few).
In addition to the math skills practiced through out the projects, this project also provided an opportunity to develop executive functioning skills, as students planned and set goals daily and tracked their progress and what they still needed to complete daily using the project guidelines sheet.
Students worked for a week and a half on their Park Project and were eager to share their projects with one another and give each other feedback. Check them out!

Design-A-Park Project
After returning from Spring Break, we have jumped into our culminating geometry project in which students put on their architect hats and design their ideal TBS park.
Monday we analyzed features of the TBS campus, measuring different geometric shapes, ranging from the Solar System to planters and everything in between to develop a realistic sense of scale that students would need in designing their park.
The Design-A-Park has 3 required components and optional extensions for students who are ready to take their projects to the next level.
