Unit 3 Review

Today we reviewed the concepts that will be on tomorrow's math test. We did this by making videos where we had to really explain our thinking!

Composite vs. Prime numbers
By Colin and Hayden
(remember, composite numbers have more than one factor pairs and prime numbers only have one factor pair: 1 and itself)

Factor Rainbows and Factor Pairs
By Reagan and Savannah

Multiplying (using lattice - multiply first, add diagonals
seond)By Nick, Jack, and Jake

Area and Perimeter
area - inside of a figure
A = length x width

perimeter - outside of the figure
P = (length + length) + (width + width)

(basic flash cards)

The presentation was done by “app smashing” two different apps: ChatterPix and ThingLink. We had a lot of fun making these and enjoyed seeing one another’s projects.

Here are their final products:
