Day 2 - Geometry

In today’s math class, the Grade 6s began work on their new math unit - geometry. We covered concepts related to angles, e.g., definition of an angle, types of angles, and constructing angles. We also discussed the many ways to classify figures, e.g., regular/irregular, numbers of sides/angles, number/s of equal sides, number of pairs of parallel sides, types of angles, and concave/convex figures. Students are asked to complete the practice work on p. 34 – 37 of their MMS 6 Practice Books.
