In 2°, Math 6 students used today as a review session in preparation for Tuesday's Topic Ten: Ratios - Unit Rates posttest. Mrs. Long and Mr. Giomini divided the class up into two groups and had students complete either the online or book assessment as practice. Both teachers provided instructional support to students and also discussed common mistakes as an entire group.
During 7 °, students in Math 6+ began working with our next topic, Finding the Area of Plane Figures. Today, students worked primarily with rectangles and parallelograms. Students were tasked with explaining why the formula for both a rectangle and parallelogram worked even though visually, the shapes appear different.
Parallelograms were examined more closely to find similar triangles with corresponding sides and angles.
Parallelograms were examined more closely to find similar triangles with corresponding sides and angles.
