Marvellous Monday!

We began the day with math. 

We reviewed the names and how to draw different triangles using isometric paper, ruler, compass and protractor. Students discovered that they can draw an acute, an obtuse, and right isosceles triangle; a scalene and an isosceles obtuse triangle; and an acute equilateral triangle (for an equilateral triangle all angles or 60 degrees). We then reviewed how to sketch a triangle and students did some examples on their own. 

Classifying figures

Learning Goal: identify, describe, and classify geometric figure 

We reminded ourselves that figures can be classified by: the number of sides, the side lengths, the numbers of angles and the angle measures. 

We discussed polygons: regular, convex and concave. 

Success Criteria:

I can:

-name and draw different triangles using:

- square/isometric dot paper

-ruler

-compass 

-protractor

-I understand that a regular polygon has all sides equal, all angles equal, line symmetry and rotational symmetry 

-I understand that a convex polygon has all angles less than 180 degrees. A concave polygon has at least one angle greater then 180 degrees

-I can draw various polygons using units and angles given 

After first recess and lunch we had French.

Then we practiced speeches in front of the class and gave each other feedback for tomorrow. 

At the end of the day we read the story the Global Kid as a class and learned how everyday items we use connect us to other countries. As a global kid it is important for us to understand our connections with other countries; we will continue to explore this throughout our unit, 

Homework:

Math is due on Wednesday - most got done in class

Homework: Pg. 246 #1-4, Pg. 248 #5, Pg. 252-253 #1, 2, 4, 5, 7

Challenge: Pg. 254 #10

Students were asked to focus on speeches tonight. 

Grade 6’s, remember that we all get nervous. Take a breath, and remember that you can do it!!!! 

Practice Practice Practice and you will feel more confident!!!
