Thursday April 12, 2012

Today was our final day of our end of quarter 3 benchmark assessment. Based on what I saw while observing students work, it looks like most were selecting a lot of correct answers.

Tomorrow, we will be back to classwork where we will cover how to find the area of a circle. There will be a workbook homework assignment over the weekend.

The formula we will use to find the area of a circle is: pi x radius^2

When students return next week, we will be looking into some geometric concepts (we are not spending a lot of time on these because many are review from 4th and 5th grade).

Monday - parallel lines and angles

Tuesday - triangles

Wednesday - Perimeter of composite shapes

Thursday - Area of composite shapes

Friday - Quiz over circles, angles, and triangles
