Class Topics: 04.01.14

In Common Core Math Six today, students in 1 and 4° reviewed material from Monday's Evening Practice.  Mr. Giomini split the class into pairs to work on various skills modeled and practiced during Chapter Nine: Volume and Surface Area in an attempt to prepare for Thursday's Chapter Nine Posttest.

During 2°, students reviewed Monday's Evening Practice from Lesson 8.4.  Mr. Giomini posted the Level IV question from last night's Google Form to use as a discussion piece to drive today's lesson. Lesson 8.5: Area of Triangles and Trapezoids was modeled and practiced in class.  Students began their Evening Practice during the last ten minutes of class.

Mr. Giomini was unable to meet with students in 3° today due to CAPS testing.
