Inquiry into Mathematics
Today was our last lesson for this unit. Today we learned how to construct and identify different 3D shapes using nets. We also learned how to identify which nets are properly drawn, and which are not.
A kind reminder our test for this unit will be on Friday, November 23rd.
The difference between a net and not a net.
Points to Remember:
An acute angle is less than 90 degrees. A right angle is 90 degrees and takes the shape of an L. An obtuse angle is greater than 90 degrees. A straight line is 180 degrees and makes a straight line. A reflex angle is an angle that falls between 180 and 360 degrees.
In order to measure a reflex angle, you measure the angle below the 180 degree straight line. Then you add up the numbers. For example, if the angle measures 13 degrees, then 13 + 180 = 193 degrees.
When constructing a reflex angle you need to do the opposite. You take the angle measurement and subtract it from the 180 degree straight line. That angle will tell you how to draw it. For example, 205 – 180 = 25 degrees. Using the 180 degree line, measure the 25 degree angle and draw it.
A regular figure has all equal sides and equal angles.
Irregular figures do not have all equal sides or equal angles.
A scalene is a triangle that has NO equal sides or equal angles.
An isosceles is a triangle with two equal sides and two equal angles.
An equilateral is a triangle with all equal sides and angles.
Inquiry into Language
Today in Language students wrote their spelling words in their agendas and worked on spelling lesson #11. This week we are focusing on diphthongs ou, ow, oi, and oy.
Unit of Inquiry
Today we began working on our summatives. Students started to research information about their artifact and complete the design process booklet. Please remember to bring all materials to build your artifact for Wednesday, November 21st as we will begin building.
For our summative, students will be required to re-create an ancient artefact from one of the three civilization we learned about. An information package and rubric was sent home. We will begin our in-class summative on Monday, November 19th and the due date will be Thursday, November 29th. A kind reminder that all work is to be completed during class time only, unless other wise stated. All materials needed to re-create the artefact will need to be bought in by Wednesday, November 21st.
Homework:
- Spelling lesson #11 due Wednesday
- Math Lesson #5 due tomorrow
- Gym clothes
- Bring summative materials for Wednesday
Important dates/items:
Thursday, November 22 – Picture re-takes, Proof Payments due
Friday, November 23- Geometry Unit Test
