Geometry in Skoolaborate

We are finishing our work in math this year with a unit on Geometry to both change it up a bit and to make sure they are ready for starting math next year. The girls were really excited to jump in and dig up their rusty knowledge of how to determine things like perimeter, area, and volume. After reviewing the basic concepts and formulas, we dove into Skoolaborate to put these skills to use in analyzing some 3D shapes, while simultaneously learning a little more about how to work with them in this virtual environment. At left, you see a picture of me floating over a field of cubes, pyramids, and rectangular solids that the girls worked with earlier in the day. We're having fun and many are getting to meet kids from all over the world while we're at it.
