What a great and productive day we had!!!!
We began the day with music class.
Next, we took up homework on finding the area of a triangle and then we moved onto finding the area and perimeter of a trapezoid.
A trapezoid
-how would you describe it? (it has 4 sides and two sides are parallel)
-Why are rectangles, squares and parallelograms also trapezoids? (Each has 2 pairs of parallel sides. A trapezoid has one pair of parallel sides, so these figures are trapezoids.)
-Which figures can you divide a trapezoid into? (Rectangles, triangles, and parallelograms)
We learned how we can divide the trapezoid into squares, rectangles, parallelograms and triangles to help us find the area of a trapezoid.
Ms. Jaskolka was very proud of how quickly we grasped this understanding!! We worked on questions related to finding the area and perimeter of a trapezoid using our knowledge of parallelograms and triangles.
After first recess and lunch we had French.
Then we moved onto typing our speeches.
After second recess and lunch we continued typing our speech.
At the end of the day we consolidated our understanding of our explorers unit by watching our RSA summative projects and providing feedback to our peers.

1. Read Daily
2. Math Page 228-230 # 1, 2, 4, 6, 8a
