In today's math lesson we continued constructing figures.
Students learned how to construct squares, triangles, parallelograms, and
hexagons using a ruler and protractor when you are given the length of sides
and two angles. We watched a YouTube clip to help us
understand how to do this. An area of difficulty we encountered was the
different way to name angles e.g.< A or < BAC. Students are asked to
complete the remaining questions on p. 94 & 95 of the MMS textbook if they
did not get done in class.
In our inquiry time, we took up
the work students completed for homework on the role of Parliament in Canadian
government. In today's class, students were inquirers as they read about the Senate
and the House of Commons. We took up the Senate in class today. Incomplete House
of Commons pages need to be completed at home if students did not get done in
class. We will label the diagram in class tomorrow. Look out for two letters coming home today. The first is about an author visit by Janet Wilson and the second is about our trip to the Legislative Assembly in Toronto.
Students then met in groups to
discuss chapter 9 of Shannen and the
Dream for a School. Students should read and complete the discussion
questions relating to chapter 10 if they did not get done in class. Students began working on building and testing their science fair project today.
Grade 6s attended Drama, French, and Gym class today.
