Did somebody say banana cream?
Unfortunately the pi we were looking for is the constant that describes the relationship between the circumference of a circle and its diameter (about 3.14). Pi-seekers measured the circumference and diameter of several round objects and then expressed the relationship as the ratio, C/d. To our surprise, we calculated the ratio as a number close to pi--every time! This week we will continue our study of circles by calculating their areas. We will also explore the volume of rectangular prisms (boxes) and the surface area of polyhedra.
Calendar for the week of March 4 through March 8
Monday: Finding Some More Pi
Tuesday: Calculating the Area of Circles
Wednesday: Polyhedra
Thursday: Exploring the Volume of Rectangular Prisms, CFA 5.4
Friday: More Practice with Volume, Retake CFA 5.4
Coming next week:

Tuesday: Correction of review and game
Wednesday: Unit 5 Post-test: Geometry
Thursday: Oz: the Great and Powerful, review games in blocks 1 and 5
