This week, Rochester´s 3rd grade students practiced and began to learn about angles and lines. They used creative strategies to understand the different types of lines and angles that we can find in real objects and structures. They have enjoyed creating angles and identifying parallel and perpendicular lines, especially when we make contests to motivate their learning.
They found the 3 types of lines in several structures around the school and learned different techniques to create lines with the correct measurement. Another activity was to identify sides and angles in a gigantic wool polygon.
Resumen: Esta semana, los estudiantes de segundo grado practicaron y empezaron a aprender acerca de ángulos y lÃneas. Usaron estrategias creativas para comprender los diferentes tipos de lÃneas y ángulos que podemos encontrar en objetos y estructuras reales. Ellos han disfrutado creando ángulos e identificando lÃneas paralelas y perpendiculares, especialmente cuando se realizan concursos para motivar su aprendizaje. Encontraron los 3 tipos de lÃneas en varias estructuras alrededor del colegio, y aprendieron diferentes técnicas para crear lÃneas con la medida correcta. En otra actividad identificaron lados y ángulos en un polÃgono gigante de lana.
