Singapore Books

Our gentlemen moving up in their books. Congratulations guys!

The 2nd graders learned how to tell time. They felt that it was best if they were the actual clock itself.

"What is the volume of the classroom?"

      Taking a suggestion from one of the students, we decided to measure the volume of the room. Students worked in teams to find the length, width, and height of the room. While working with large numbers that were in the millions, students were able to compare their work with answers from their calculators. While in their teams, the boys also had to compare their data with each other, while also comparing the data that the other teams had collected. All the data was averaged, and then used to find how many liters it would take to fill the room based on the data that the students collected.

Volume

 

The students have been learning about volume. While in teams, students had to predict, hypothesize, and measure each container to find its volume. Once students found the cubic centimeters of each container, they then had to find out how many liters the container would hold.
