Tick Tock

In today's math lesson, students applied all their knowledge for finding perimeter and area in different polygons to solve problems. Students were advised to be careful when reading the problems and to take note of what was given, such as the shape of the figure, what is known about the figure, and the formula that is needed. Students are asked to complete practice questions on p. 372 of the MMS textbook.. Students are reminded of the unit test this Friday.

During inquiry time, groups had a run through of their slideshows, with the task of allocating an equal speaking part to each group member and discussing the script for the oral component. I had chance to hear most groups present. They have received feedback from me. They have begun writing their scripts on cue cards. They will use these cards to practice their presentation and to begin memorising their lines. I had a look at display boards to see what is missing. Many students are opting to print pages in colour at home for their boards. This should be done as soon as possible. Most groups had a mentor meeting today. They showed their mentor their display board and slideshow and received valuable feedback on how to improve their work. Groups members that are behind stayed in during recess and gym in an effort to get caught up.
