Welcome to Mrs. V. Smith's Website
Grades 4 and 5
Math Exploration and GeoArt
Math Exploration
Students use mathematical reasoning while solving multi-step problems. They gain confidence in thinking and communicating mathematically while exploring: calculator math, mathematics in history, positive and negative integers and other pertinent topics.
Students acquire algebraic understanding by solving hands-on linear equations. Students will also enjoy creative and recreational math.
GeoArt
Students explore geometric concepts by constructing angles and using regular polygons to construct 2-D and 3-D shapes. They create colorful two-dimensional tessellations and print computer tessellations. Students who complete individual assignments work with peers to produce a group project such string art on wood, a large "space" shape or other choice activities.
