Week of October 4 - 8

This is a short week for students. Thursday and Friday, there is no school. There is not school, as well, on Monday, October 11th.

Monday, students who do not have their work done, will work during class and stay after school if they are not done. We are at the end of the unit on Square Roots and Surface Area. Those who have their homework done on Monday and all work caught up will partake in the Amazing Area Race. I am still missing some work and class activities!

For those who did not complete their work in class on Friday, homework for Monday, October 4th is page 40: 3, 4, and 5. Students have access to their textbook online (see my last blog) and there are YouTube videos they can watch if they do not understand a concept (just google what you don't know). They can also refer to the note section of their note book, the text book, or my wiki site for more information. I have shown and explained the variety of ways they can access information if they do not understand. I am available too for extra help - before your work is due!

Tuesday, students will design a play centre for a child using a variety of shapes. The shapes will create a composite object for which students will find the surface area. The assignment is due at the end of class.

Wednesday, a guest speaker will be in.

The unit Test will be held on Wednesday, October 13th. We will begin the next math unit on Tuesday, October 12th - Powers and Exponent Laws.

Have a nice weekend.
Ms. Norman
