      • Graph Mole
        • Click on and read the "Introduction" before playing the games. The introduction will give you an excellent review of what we've been learning about coordinate systems in class.  
      • If you feel you need extra practice, feel free to play any of the games below. If you feel ready for the quiz, go ahead and skip the games and take the quiz. You will need to score 45 or more correct to move on.

        • Level: 5
        1. Let me know when you're done, so I can record your score
2. Analyze 2- and 3-dimensional shapes by describing the attributes. Predict, draw and describe the results of sliding/translating, flipping/reflecting and turning/rotating around the center point of a polygon.
    • Types of Polygons 
    •  Baseball Geometry 
    • Choose the areas you feel you need the most review on and practice those skills. When you have done so for about 20-30 minutes, type a 1/2 pg of what you learned today in math.

around tall grass
over ant hills
across multch
into rabbit holes
over tree roots
If you look in a hole you might find a snake.

Monkeys jump
onto big trees
over small stumps
through big logs

Frogs Hop
around the rocks
over the stick
past the flower
by the water
onto the lilypad
Frogs spend their life
hopping to different places.

into the big ice hole
toward the dark cold ocean
Seals spend their lives in Antartica
