Make sure the 0 inch mark on your ruler is lined up with the end of the object. 2. Find where the other end of the object falls on the ruler. That is it’s length. The lines between each whole number on an inch ruler stand for ¼, ½, and ¾ . If it is between two lines, always measure up! Example: 2¼ ¼ ½ ¾ Geometry Notes: Attribute- a feature that describes a shape Polygon- any CLOSED shape with 3 or more sides (see polygons below) Side- straight edge of a shape A circle does not have sides, so it is not a polygon! Angle- the space created when two sides of a shape meet Parallel Lines- two lines that could go on forever without ever intersecting or crossing Name _______________________________ Date _____________ Measure to the nearest inch! ! ! ! ____________"in.

Then read the story a second time while asking yourself the questions in the ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ boxes. You do not need to answer the questions on a piece of paper, they are to guide your thinking while reading. ​ ​ ​ ​ DIRECTIONS: Now read the fairy tale Jack and the Beanstalk. Use the Venn Diagram to compare and contrast the two stories. Jack is a poor little boy who lives in the forest with his mom. The son and mother live off their cow’s milk, but one day when the cow doesn't produce any milk, Jack's mom tells him to go sell the cow in the market for money and food. When Jack is on the way to sell the cow he meets a man who says he has magic beans that grow really tall overnight. Jack decides to exchange the cow for the magical beans and when Jack gets home he proudly shows his mother the beans, but she gets becomes very angry with Jack and throws the beans out the window. His mother then sends Jack to bed with no dinner and when Jack wakes up the next morning he realizes that the beans sprouted into a giant beanstalk traveling all the way up to the sky. Jack is curious as to what is up at the top, so he climbs up the beanstalk and walks down the road to find a giant castle. Jack enters the castle and sees a giant women and asks her for food because he is hasn't eaten since yesterday’s lunch. The women gave jack food, but when her child-eating husband comes home Jack hides in the oven. Once the husband falls asleep Jack escapes the oven, steals a bag of gold, and runs out of the house. Jack does this two more times stealing a chicken that poops gold and a gold harp. The last time he travels up the beanstalk the giant husband sees Jack as he is running out of the house with the harp, and chases after him. Once Jack gets down the beanstalk he cuts the beanstalk causing the giant to fall to death. “Juanita and the Beanstalk” close read questions 1. Part A: Who is the speaker of the passage? A. Mama B.
