P.S.6 STUDENTS FROM ROOM 304 CONNECT SCIENCE AND MATH ANY CHANCE THEY GET!

It has never made sense to me that math and science isn’t taught together more often! We could spend so much less time on covering science topics and math topics if we could look at the curriculum and find the link any chance we can. In this case, it's really easy! Symmetry is introduced in second grade. However, it is revisited again in fourth grade with adding to the lines of symmetry and understanding that objects can have more than one line of symmetry. This lesson lays the foundation of revisiting one line of symmetry, maybe discovering more than one line in the process and connecting their understanding of how reflection works. We then are able to understand light waves and energy more deeply while connecting it to understanding math better too!
