And funnily, I don't remember her being taught that either, although I'm certain that 5th grade is when I learned.
Regardless, she got the concept in a snap. Go Ana!
Eva, unusually, is struggling with her math, measuring angles, but that's probably because our protractor is hard to use. I told her that "close enough" angles are good enough, I won't hold it against her if she measures something as 130 that's really 125 or whatever. The trouble is that the curriculum assumes a good protractor and so is constantly asking her to add angles together to thus lead her to a mathematical concept (like that triangles add up to 180) and she's not really getting the exact right numbers, so I end up looking at her added-up work and saying "Okay, you got 178, and that's pretty close, and your addition was correct, but you must have mismeasured because that's really 180."
It's frustrating for both of us, but she perseveres.
