Science Centre Update

Hello Everyone,

Looking forward to our trip tomorrow. Come to school as normal and the portables will be open. We will be getting on the bus right after the bell. It was suggested that students bring a lunch, but they do have the option of purchasing a snack if they would like. Lockers are available for $1, but students are asked to pack light. We should be back at the school around 4:45 pm for pick up. Remember, to check with your teacher before leaving.

See you in the morning!

Mrs. Breau:)

□ Describe some of the benefits of space exploration (will be covered next week)

Update

Dear Parents,

It is with great disappointment that I inform you that our trip to view the movie Wonder at the Galaxy Cineplex will be cancelled. It was just announced last week that the movie’s release date has been bumped from April 2017 to November 2017. Anyone who has paid will be issued a refund through school cash online or by school cheque, depending on your method of payment.

Sincerely,

Mrs. Breau

Geometry Review

a    

  

     Happy Friday,

    Wishing you all a wonderful long weekend with your families. Please note that report cards did come home today. Each student had the opportunity to conference with me, and self-assess their learning skills.Through this process, students set some goals for next term both in learning skills and academics. Please sign and return both the report card and the student self assessment sheet.

      Again, thank you so much for all your support this term. Looking forward to term 2 :) 

     We will be completing a geometry review and doing some open ended problem solving on Tuesday. 

    

     Geometry Review

1     1. Measure and identify each angle as acute, obtuse, straight, right or reflex

            a) 

        2. Construct the following angles using a ruler and protractor 

        a) 130°           b) 123°            c) 43°            d) 210°

       3. Identify the triangle by sides (equilateral, isosceles, scalene) AND by angle (acute, obtuse, right)

    4. Using a ruler and a protractor create the polygons below. Be sure to label all measurements and angles.

     a)    ∆ABC: Length AB= 8 cm, ​ Length AC= 8 cm, ​ Angle A = 37°. ​Label length BC. What is length BC? ​What type of triangle is ∆ABC?

    b)   ​∆ABC: Length AB=6 cm, ​ Angle A = 20°, ​ Angle B = 140°

   c)    ∆XYZ: Length XY= 6 cm, ​ Angle Y = 40° ​ Angle X = 50° ​What is the size of angle Z? ​What type of triangle is XYZ?

   d)   Construct the quadrilateral TRUE in which TR = 3.5 cm, RU = 3 cm, UE = 4 cm, ∠R = 75° and ∠U =120°

   e)   Construct a parallelogram ABCD with sides AB = 4 cm and AD = 5 cm and angle A = 60˚

    f) Construct a rhombus with side lengths of 10 cm and angle measures of 40° and 140°

  

    Review the criteria for the quadrilaterals 

     

Update

Good afternoon everyone,

Just a friendly reminder that tomorrow is our book party. I am looking forward to celebrating our reading journey as a class. If for some reason the buses are cancelled tomorrow, the party will be postponed until Friday.

Also, on behalf of Kiefer and Mitchell, could you please bring back your forms for their science experiment tomorrow.

Have a great night!

Mrs. Breau :

Triangle Challenge
