Can you believe it’s already Thursday? Let’s start with the final step of this 3 Act brain starter.

Brain Starter

What if I told you this?

That’s right, there are not 800 donuts in the box. There are actually 2,400. So, how many layers of donuts are there to make 2,400?

Leave your answer in the comments or on Flipgrid! Also comment if your original prediction was closer to 2,400 or 800.

Math Must Do Activities – Due April 24, 2020 (tomorrow!)

IXL – You will be completing 5 skills that focus on multiplying mixed numbers. These are skills you must complete with a smart score of at least 80 over the week. If you have questions about how to find these skills, please visit me during our office hours or email me.

*This Khan Academy video will show you how to multiply mixed numbers.

*Need a reminder about improper fractions and mixed numbers? Check out this Flocabulary video.

Galileo – This has been assigned. Remember, this is now a quiz and is meant to be completed after you have practiced your IXL skills. If you score a 90% or higher, you will receive a 4!

Frank Lloyd Wright Virtual Classroom Activity 2: Squares, Patterns & Realistic Drawings

Welcome back to our second activity based around squares, patterns, and making a realistic drawing! Let’s recap what we have learned so far on our journey toward eventually making our own artwork that resembles a stained-glass window!

• Through our first video you have learned about who Frank Lloyd Wright was and about geometric shapes.

• You learned about shapes that live in your environment and the patterns that they may have.

• You picked out a plant in nature or an image of a plant that has visible shapes and patterns in it!

• Next, watch the video.

MATERIALS FOR ACTIVITY 2: Nature inspiration image, Blank paper, Pencil, Eraser, Ruler

1. Have a family discussion around what a realistic drawing is. For example, some of our favorite realistic drawings at Taliesin West in Arizona are the ginkgo leaf, a wheat stalk, hollyhock blooms and the nautilus shell.

2. Have each family member use one of the pictures of nature that they chose last week for Activity 1 or one of the examples shown on this page. Using blank paper and pencil draw a copy of the image to the best of your ability.

3. Once each family member has drawn their realistic image look to see if it has squares, triangles, or circles in it.

4. Once each family member has drawn their realistic image look to see if it has squares, triangles, or circles in it! To see how to identify a pattern with a shape more clearly, you can refer back to the symmetrical pattern sheet process above.

5. Have each family member share their realistic drawings and discuss the shapes that can be identified in each person’s drawing!

Next week we will learn together how to turn these drawings into a stylistic sketch.
