Bridge Challenge

Today we learned about 5 different types of bridges:
- tress bridge
- beam bridge
- arch bridge
- cantilever bridge
- suspension bridge

We looked at real life examples of each bridge, sketched a picture and wrote down some features. Here are the bridges:

Students were given a sheet today outlining our bridge challenge. Each student is expected to plan and construct their own bridge that spans 20 cm. Bridges should be portable so that they can be brought to school. A list of materials and the tests that will be performed are on the sheets. Bridges need to be completed and at the school by Monday May 8. Parents may help with construction however, should not be building for students. If you have any questions or require materials please contact Ms. Binks.

Thank you to all the families who came to our Math Night. The games and problems that we had out were focused on multiplication and long division. We will be having a review on long division next week so this would be an excellent skill to practice over the weekend!!

Reminders:
- May calendars sent home today
- Bridges due May 8
