Wondering why we do these things in Math




Mr. Nast's grade 5 students were working diligently in their JUMP Math workbooks in class on Reflections, Rotations and Slides. When Ms. T posed the question, "Why are you learning this information?", the responses included:

  • "Because it's in the BC Curriculum."
  • "It could happen to you where you may need to move something and you may need to know the right terms."
  • There will be lots of rotations in life and it's good to know them now."
