⏱ about 15 min
Saturday: Number Hunt
Ferris opens his map one last time.
"The trail ends here, but math is everywhere," he says.
Bennie points at a window. "That window is a quadrilateral."
Rosie spots a clock, and Lizzy spots a graph in a book.
Hazel finds square tiles on the floor. "Area!" she cheers.
"Let us hunt for all of it," says Ferris.
The great shape and number hunt

Say how many sides and square corners it has.
The other person guesses the shape.
Then find one like it at home.

For a grown-up
This week your child sorted quadrilaterals by their attributes.
They split shapes into equal areas and named each part with a unit fraction.
They also reviewed the whole Grade 3 trail.
Ask them to explain why a square is also a rectangle.
