Oh April, a month of spring, lovely flowers, plenty of rain showers, and a bridge to end of year math assessments. Let’s do it well this year by including these games in your assignments to get your students ready!
New In Grades 3-5
- Put your architecture cap on because you are Living in Voloom and this new space colony needs to be built! As the best architects say, “Give me a bunch of right rectangular prisms and some glue and you’ll have your building soon.” Ok maybe they’re not the best if they’re using glue, and they also need to consider the formulas V = l × w × h and V = b × h for the volumes of right rectangular prisms. Spatial awareness is critical when building in this new space colony. Do your job well, and there might be statues of you in this colony! See more on Living in Voloom further below.
