SAS 5th Graders Explore Geometry Through Creative Designs

Monday, March 17th, 2025: Fifth-grade students in Mrs. Mead’s Syracuse Academy of Science math class started their geometry unit with an exciting hands-on activity—constructing robots using quadrilaterals!

Geometry can often confuse students, but Mrs. Mead found a way to make learning about four-sided figures engaging and interactive. Students explored the properties of quadrilaterals while designing and assembling their robot creations. This activity encouraged critical thinking and teamwork while reinforcing key math concepts. The activity strengthened their understanding of geometry and allowed them to showcase their artistic side.

By combining math and creativity, these young scholars gained a deeper appreciation for geometric concepts memorably and engagingly. We can't wait to see what they explore next in their math journey!

Stay tuned for more hands-on learning highlights from our Atoms!
