Welcome back!. This month is jam packed full of exciting learning.
Ask about the math goals with geometry. After we have I am learning to: classify quadrilaterals:
parallelograms, kites, squares, rhombi, trapezoids, and rectangles.
identify acute, right, and obtuse angles.
sketch acute, right, and obtuse angles.
measure acute, right, and obtuse angles.
identify triangles by angle measurements and the number of congruent sides.
describe triangles by angle measurements and the number of congruent sides.
classify triangles by angle measurements and the number of congruent sides.
determine the formula for the area of parallelograms and relate it to the area of a rectangle.
determine the formula for the area of a triangle and relate it to the area of a parallelogram.
determine the perimeter of a triangle.
determine the area of a triangle.
determine the perimeter of a parallelogram.
determine the area of a parallelogram.
draw quadrilaterals from information about sides and angles.
draw triangles from information about sides and angles.
determine the number of lines of symmetry on triangles
(equilateral, acute, obtuse, isosceles, and scalene).
determine the number of lines of symmetry on quadrilaterals (parallelograms, kites, squares, rhombi, trapezoids, and rectangles).
solve single- and multi-step word problems about perimeters for quadrilaterals and triangles and determine the reasonableness of my answers.
solve single- and multi-step word problems about areas for quadrilaterals and triangles and determine the reasonableness of my answers.
we will move on to fractions and decimals.
In Social Studies we are learning about the impact the British Parliament had on the colonies economy.
The causes of the Revolutionary War and about how individuals cause change in history.
Scientifically we are furthering our understanding of the scientific process with our Variables investigations.
We are using our reading skills to determine what is important from what is just interesting.
