Math is Everywhere - Mrs. V's 4th grade Art Class

I was invited by our wonderful art teacher Mrs. Vulfovich to see her integration of math and the arts in her lesson.  Students in fourth grade can be seen below designing a board game and dice to go with it.  The students were learning about cube patterns and practicing math skills such as measurement and skills.  Mrs. Vulfovich also integrated math vocabulary (parallel, horizontal and vertical) within the art lesson.

Welcome Back!

Great to be back, I am looking forward to my second year at Jefferson Elementary. Over the summer the teachers in the district added some wonderful math lessons and projects to our curriculum that promote critical thinking and strengthen problem solving skills.  We are looking forward to a lot of great math learning. 

The Problem Solving Board is slated to start this year in late October.  I will talk more about this during our curriculum night on September 15th.

I am including a link to some "must have math apps" for you and your child to try out:

Wishing everyone a great start to the school year!
