Math

As we continued to explore patterns, shapes and arrays, our 2nd Graders made our very own paper quilt. Each child received a 4 by 4 block of paper and also different colors of smaller squares where they had to cut the squares to make triangles and rectangles and fit them in a pattern. Then we had to figure out how to equally divide the blocks and make a quilt. It was a bit challenging because a lot of the 2nd Graders made 3 groups of 7, but then we were left with one lonely block of paper. We know that quilts are usually even; so then we decided the only way for this to work was to have a 2 by 11 array. Our quilt hangs outside our door and we are proud of it!
