What a Wonderful First Day!!!

Welcome back to all of the students to another great year at RES!  Enjoy the greetings and look forward to news about our class activities!

Let's share our MATH stories!

I hope you're all enjoying this last full week of your summer break!  Teachers are busily getting ready for your arrival, and we're all excited to hear about the fun you've had over the past couple of months! 

So, has anyone spotted any math out there in the world this summer?  Have you used any of your math smarts in your adventures or seen anyone else use theirs? You can email me some of your math discovery pics, your stories, your questions, or your observations! 

(here's my email:  maribeth.berliner@cesuvt.org)

I can post your ideas here on our blog to share with others!   

Here's my idea to get us started...

Today I noticed that in my apple there were 5 seeds....I wondered....if all apples have the same number of seeds.....how many apple trees could I plant if I took the seeds from 8 apples? 10 apples? 16 ? 50? 100?

P.S. Did anyone watch the Olympics?  Did you find all of the math in Rio?  Woo hoo!

Our Class Quilt 2016-17

Well, here it is!  I'm psyched about how it turned out!  It's all put together just like we will be in a few weeks!  I can't wait for you to see your own special square in it....and how when all the squares are put together ..... it's super cool.....already a pretty great team.....nice work.... :)

Best to all of you! See ya soon!
