We have all heard the saying that "A Diamond is a Girl's Best Friend", but this is not true of mathematicians. As we have been working at identifying polygons and their attributes I have become aware that some students are incorrectly identifying some of them as diamonds. If you check our geometry resource pages on our website, that term does not appear there. The correct terms must be used. Depending on the figure you are considering, the correct term would either be a kite or a rhombus.
Yesterday our latest blog math question was due and all but three students submitted the work on time. Those that did earned a Good News ticket or more depending on the quality of the response. Here is the latest question which is due Tuesday November 24, 2015 at 8:10 AM.
Two weeks ago, two flowers were measured at eight centimetres and 12 centimetres tall each, respectively. Today they are 12 cm and 16 cm tall. Which flower grew more? Justify your thinking.
