Week of April 3rd to 7th

I hope that everyone had a great spring break and are looking forward to the final 3 months of school. Yup that is right we have less than 3 months to go until the end of grade 7 and summer holidays!

This week we will be diving in the concepts of perimeter and area. We learn how to determine the perimeter of all polygons, and the area for certain types of polygons including rectanges, squares, parallelograms and triangles. For the second part of the week we will spend some time playing with circles in order to determine their perimeter and area.

We will be using manipulatives including dot paper and geoboards in order to construct polygons and determine accurate measurements.

Have a great week everyone

Mr. R
