I apologize for the long break between posts as thing have been crazy busy for the last week around Holly Shelter Middle School. EOGs are fast approaching and everyone is working hard to have their students prepared for success.
This week in math class we continued our review stations. The topic this week was geometry and the coordinate plane. The five stations from this week are as follows
Station 1 - Transformations on the coordinate plane
Students plot points on the coordinate grid then reflect, translate, and rotate the image into each quadrant. There is a set of 11 questions that were to be answered after plotting the points.
Station 2 - EOG word problems
Similar to last week, students saw EOG sample questions. They were to highlight key words/ numbers, draw a picture, graph, or diagram, then solve the word problems. I provided an answer key so they could check their work when finished
Station 3 - Area and Circumference of Circles / Area and Perimeter of irregular shapes
Students were given 2 worksheets to practice finding Area and Circumference of a circle as well as finding the area and perimeter of irregular shapes.
Station 4 - Small group instruction with Mr. Culp
In our small group we used dry erase boards to practice our vocabulary and apply the vocab words to sample problems. I would give the students a vocab word, and they would draw what that word meant on their board. We also spent a lot of time finding missing angles in each type of triangle.
Station 5 - Vocabulary / Formula foldable
We all did station 5 together on Monday when we created a foldable from construction paper. We created 8 "windows" on the foldable and wrote our important formulas and vocabulary words on the foldable. Students were to refer to their foldable while working on their other 4 stations. Important information included
Area of a circle,
circumference of a circle,
Supplementary angles
Complementary angles
Area of a triangle
