NO SCHOOL: Holiday Recess 12/23–1/1
On Thursday, sixth graders in Kristen Backes and Dylon Peertamsingh's class at AIbany International Center worked in pairs to determine the surface area of rectangular prisms they created with small plastic cubes.
The students discussed how they arrived at their answers, then wrote about how well they understood the lesson and whether they liked it.
Their lesson came from Illustrative Mathematics, a new district math resource.
You can see more Facebook photos from the lesson. (You don't need a Facebook account to see the pictures linked in the highlighted text. A window may appear that says, “To see more from Albany City Schools on Facebook, log on or create an account,” but you can dismiss it by clicking “not now.”)
