In yesterday's fundraising assembly, students were delighted to learn that they had raised over $5000. That meant that the top earners for the day got to pie Mr. Sawatsky. Mr. Sawatsky tried to slip out of the building when he heard the news, but he was unsuccessful. Students and teachers were thrilled at this outcome! ;-).
In today's math lesson, we investigated the relationship between parallelograms and triangles that have the same base and the same area and learned that the area of the triangle is half the area of the parallelogram. Students used the formula for a triangle that they learned yesterday, A = (b x h)/2, to solve problems involving the area of a triangle. They also constructed equal triangles that were joined to form parallelograms that had equal bases and height. Students are asked to complete practice questions on p. 360 - 361 of the MMS textbook.

During inquiry time, students continued working on improving
their slideshows converting their survey results into a graph, planning and
working on their display boards, and practicing their French component.
