🟢🔷 Exploring Reflective Symmetry with Pattern Blocks! 🔶🔴
Our 4th graders put their creativity to the test with a hands-on reflective symmetry activity using pattern blocks! They designed and mirrored colorful patterns, discovering how symmetry works in a fun and engaging way. It was amazing to see their problem-solving skills in action as they built and adjusted their designs!
Learning math through hands-on activities makes all the difference! #ReflectiveSymmetry #PatternBlockFun #MathMadeFun #4thGradeMathematicians
4th Grade Geologists in Action!
Mrs. Erickson's 4th graders just wrapped up the Geology section of ND Studies with a hands-on Chocolate Chip Mining activity, simulating lignite coal mining at Falkirk Mines!
Students selected different "land" (cookies) and purchased "mining tools" to extract as much "coal" (chocolate chips) as possible. They quickly learned that better-quality land produced more coal—but at a higher cost!
After mining, they had to reclaim their land. The big question—did they make a profit or take a loss?
Great job, young geologists! Learning about ND’s natural resources has never been sweeter! #NDStudies #HandsOnLearning #FutureGeologists
