In today's math lesson we watched yet another great YouTube
clip by Math Antics.
This one was about quadrilaterals. The clip reminded us that quadrilaterals are
figures with four sides. It discusses how we classify quadrilaterals depending
on the number of parallel or equal sides and the presence or absence of right
angles. We learned that the sum of the interior angles of a quadrilateral add
up to 360⁰. In today's math lesson, we worked on a strategy lesson
called reflect and check. We used this strategy to solve problems involving
geometry and division. Students do not have math homework today as we completed
and took up all questions in class.
In our inquiry time, we discussed
what happened on Parliament Hill yesterday. We took some time to reflect on
what we have learned so far in this unit competition style. Students then set
out to learn about the role of the Governor General. They had free choice to do
this independently, in pairs, or in a group. They had to choose the scenario
that worked best for them. We took up this work. For homework, students are
asked to continue by learning about the role of the Prime Minister.
Students met in groups to discuss
chapter 7 of Shannen and the Dream for a
