Tremendous Tuesday!

Broken down steps: https://www.wikihow.com/Find-the-Surface-Area-of-a-Rectangular-Prism


We began the day with math. Our learning goal today was to find the surface area of a rectangular prism using the formula SA = 2lh + 2 lw + 2 hw. We were introduced to the surface area of a rectangular prism. Students came to understand that there must be three variables for any measurement formula for a prism; we use l, w, and h since b for base refers to the rectangular base of the prism. We learned we are finding the area of each rectangle and then adding them together to get the answer and when the sides are congruent you can multiply by 2.

The surface area of the prism is the sum of the areas of the rectangles.
The surface rea of the prism = 2lh + 2 lw + 2 hw
We write = SA = 2lh + 2 lw + 2 hw
OR SA= 2(lh + lw + hw)
-measured in units squared 

Surface area of a cube:

We find the area of one face and then multiply by six since a square has six congruent faces. 
When given the total amount you just need to divide by 6 since all the faces have the same area. 

Today’s Success criteria:
I understand that:
- the surface area of the prism is the sum of the areas of the rectangles
The surface rea of the prism = 2lh + 2 lw + 2 hw
We write = SA = 2lh + 2 lw + 2 hw
Another way:
SA= 2(lh + lw + hw) 
- for the surface area of a cube, when given the total amount you just need to divide by 6 and to get the length, divide that number by 3

Then we had French,

After first recess and lunch we discussed the prologue, Chapter 1 and 2 and answered questions related to each part of Tuck Everlasting. 

Then we dove into UOI. Today our focus was on creation stories and thinking about how the earth come to be. We read three creation stories explained by various Aboriginal groups. We worked in groups to discuss the symbols, the explanation of the world, the moral and the items from nature.

After second recess and lunch we had a conversation about how Aboriginal people were here way before us and yet their voice often seems missing. We are asked to think about why. We continued to talk about who were the first people here and how they got here and we learned that differing groups have different perspectives about this. We then talked about ‘Canadian identity’ and our own identity and the aspects that make up our own identity. We then began working on a mind map to show our own identity and we also did a mind map from the perspective of an Aboriginal person.
