We were able to determine some conclusions and overarching statements about this Venn Diagram this morning.  Nice warm-up Little Minions! 

We continued our Math thinking into measuring liquids and using challenging clues to solve a riddle.  Here is the riddle: 


Students used friends, tools in the classroom, and their critical thinking skills to solve the riddles.  Every student was successful and found a strategy that worked for them! 


Many students reflected about their thinking on their blogs and were very proud of their hard work - check out their blogs! :)
