Rotational Symmetry


We began our day with math. We took up yesterday’s homework on symmetry and did a new lesson on rotational symmetry. Students used pattern blocks to determine if they had rotational symmetry and the order of rotational symmetry. They used tracing paper when checking order of symmetry in the practice work. We made good progress with the practice work. Some students even completed all work in class. Students who did not get done are asked to complete practice problems on p. 272 - 273 of the MMS textbook as homework.

We used first recess time for students to write the measurement unit retest.

It was then UOI time. Students got straight into their groups and began researching and note-taking information for their presentations on Canada’s exports. They were expected to complete another 1/3 of the research by the end of class time today. They will need devices for the remainder of the week as they work on this project.

As students conducted their UOI research, I met with students to conference about and edit speeches. We are now halfway through the class with speech edits.

Students then had gym class with Mr. Slyk.

Grade 6s ended the day attending French class with Mme. Villeneuve.

Look out for UOI tests coming home today. Please take time to review, sign, and return these tests.

Remember to be on time for tomorrow’s ski trip. Ensure you have warm clothes – don’t’ forget gloves or mitts. Consider bringing a change of clothes if the slopes are very wet. Also, don’t forget lunches and snacks or money to buy food.
