Feb 26 Peer teaching: VC, KB, ES and SM, BK	Peer teaching: TM, MP and KR, AH Directions to Meyer Middle School HW: Make 6 different rectangles using tangrams (you'll be using different numbers of tangrams in the rectangles, and not always using all 7). You can cut and trace/sketch your tangrams, or you can do the problems on the web and screen capture your rectangles. I suggest using the NLVM tangrams because they are outlined, and it's easy for you to show me what tans you used to make the rectangles.
