Math:
Today students learned that when they see a shape that has sides with the same length they use hatch marks to show it. We used the example on pg. 54 and I drew some examples on the board. They also learned what parallel line are. (two lines that will never meet or intersect) They learned that when you have a shape with parallel lines we use arrows to show it.
We complete pg. 54 as a class and students completed pg. 55 on their own.
