Believe it or not, we are still working! Today, students reviewed angles. We then worked on constructing angles of different measures using a protractor, classified angles as acute, obtuse or right, and learned to define complementary and supplementary angles. There is no homework assigned for tonight.
Sorry for the recent lack of updates! I'm afraid we aren't doing anything terribly exciting at the moment. Students have been working their way through some end of the year assessment-type activities. As a result, there was no homework yesterday. Today students got a double-sided paper "for fun". I'm going to give plus point tickets out to students for each side of the assignment (one side is called "Relating Quantities" and the other is "Ordered Mazes"). There is NO PENALTY for not completing the assignments, and I'll be collecting them right through this Friday. Students with completed assignments will earn drop tickets for the last day's raffle next week. :)
Today's math lesson involved a quick review of Area (LxW), before moving on to Volume (LxWxH). Students used manipulatives to derive the formula, before applying it. Tonight's homework is 10.7 Practice A, due tomorrow.
No math class today. There's a grade-wide field trip.Last night's homework, 2.8 Practice A is still due tomorrow.
This past Friday was Field Day, and I was absent yesterday, so I apologize for the lack of those two posts. Today, we re-visited Mean, Median, Mode and Range, with students spending the last 15 minutes of class working on their independent practice, 2.8 Practice A. Homework (due Thursday, as we will not have math tomorrow due to a field trip) is to complete that sheet.
