We trapped some Zoids!
When we were studying the names of Polygons, we learned that Trapezoids only have 1 pair of parallel lines.
In order for that to stick, I had the kids make Trapezoid traps to trap the Zoids. They come out only at night time when the kids are not in the classrooms. They also left some polygon shaped treats to lure them out.
And sure enough, when we returned to school the next morning, they had all been caught!
Unfortunately, Caleb lost a finger in the process. Those Zoids can sometimes be aggressive.
We also like to make Math edible at times.
Did you know that Cheez-its are a perfect square inch?
We determined the perimeter and the area of the square inch shapes.
Of course we got to eat them all after we were finished with our work. :)
