Math 7
-We reviewed the balance model and learnt how to use algebra tiles. Notes posted below. No homework.
Science 7
-We had our breakfast today during class.
-Time was given to work on chapter 10 questions. Chapter 10 was a handout. We are doing science literacy where students are reading and seeking answers.
Math 6
-We discussed what each of the numbers on the report card mean. A “2” means the student is doing grade level work but they often need help or prompts to complete the work. Many students in the class are presently at this stage of learning and this is why we have Mr. Walsh in the class to help students answer questions and to provide extra support. With practice, students are progressing to a “3” where they are working on grade level material, and being successful with the questions without help or prompts.
-We learnt how to calculate the missing angle of triangles and quadrilaterals. Students should be able to do this without the use of a calculator.
-Students were given a handout with the name of angles and these need to be known by heart. Homework is to finish the question on the handout and memorize the names of the angles.
Science 8
-We continue our work with reflections and refractions. Students watched a video (link in notes) of how to determine the densest medium. Time was given to finish the workbook given yesterday in class.
