In math we are learning about reflections and figures that are congruent. This means shapes that are the same size and same shape. I decided to see if the kids could challenge each other using our pattern blocks and they definitely blew me away with their interesting creations! They were asked to create a pattern with their blocks on one side of the paper and then find someone to reflect their image on the opposite side. Take a look at how much fun these fourth graders had with their imaginations and some determination!

As you can see from the wild and crazy pictures, the fourth grade had a marvelous time playing with reflections and learning about congruent figures. Learning is definitely fun when we get to experiment and explore different concepts. Hope you enjoyed a peek inside fourth grade mathematics!
Sincerely and with best wishes,
Ms. Brogan & The Fabulous Fourth Graders
