Marvelous Monday!!!

We began the day with math and classifying figured. 

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 looked at various shapes and worked in partners to describe them. 

We discussed polygons: regular, convex and concave. 





After we answered questions related to classifying figures. 

Success Criteria for today:

-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 

Then we had French.

After first recess and lunch we reviewed the Oxfam homework from the weekend and the importance of perspective (viewing the map from different perspectives). 

Then we had music.

Learning Goal for UOI today: to describe the advantages and disadvantages of different map projections and how they shape how we see the world.
We watchedan animated four-minute video of two map makers (Mercator and Peters) defending their own projection. Students voted for the one they think is the best. After the vote, the chat show host explored the effect of the different projections on our view of the world and discusses the ‘fairness’ of how different countries are represented. The difficulties of trying to create an accurate representation of a globe are explained, as is the fact that all world maps are compromises. 
Students continued to develop and understand the connections that Canada has with other countries with a classroom read aloud activity. We ready the story the Global Kid as a class and learned how everyday items we use connect us to other countries.
We were also given a blank world map and did some mapping activities. We included a compass/direction, and a legend/key with appropriate colours and continent names. 






After second recess and lunch we continued working on our Viking art. We worked on the sail and making the waves by ripping the paper! 

Have a great night!
