We started our day with math. We used a practical approach
to help students understand the formula for area of a triangle, A = (b x h)/2.
Students draw triangles in rectangles. The cut the rectangles and triangles out
and discovered that the area of the triangle is half the area of the rectangle.
Students then used the formula to calculate areas of triangles and to solve
problems. Students are asked to complete
practice questions on p. 356 - 357 of
the MMS textbook.
During inquiry time, students continued working on improving
their slideshows, planning their display boards, and practicing their French
component.
