We are about half-way through with our Farms and Fences math unit. Today, we worked on finding ways to make a fence that is 10 rulers (10 feet) long. But since it's hard to work with things that are that big, we use Cuisenaire rods to represent (show) our thinking. We found different ways (different combinations) to make a fence that is 10 feet long.
- 10 feet = 10 feet
- 4 feet + 6 feet = 10 feet
- 1 foot + 9 feet = 10 feet
- 2 feet + 8 feet = 10 feet
- 3 feet + 7 feet + 10 feet
Happy learning!
