The students had a lot of math discussions in small groups today. All the discussions pertained to polygons and especially quadrilaterals. I heard some great math talk. There was a lot of thinking going on throughout the classroom. Below the pictures is one example of one problem they were asked to discuss in their groups. Their answers are posted too.
