Bothers - Students took a quiz on composite area. HW: Finish IXL FF.5, FF.6, and FF.7 Katz - Students took a quiz on composite area. HW: No HW Leach - Students worked on composite area. HW: FF4 & FF5 need to be completed to 80 or higher by midnight Sunday for a grade! Ledesma - Today, students worked on their "Composite Creatures." After finding the areas of various polygons, they cut out the shapes and created a creature/picture. They will also find the total area of their composite shape. HW: Finish your Composite Creature; pink IXL is due on Monday
Shaw:Today we reviewed grades and reasons for students success- those who are not participating in homework, classwork, IXL assigned skills and not following procedural steps and not showing their work will have difficulties going forward- credit to those who have made' A's.
Today I have introduced the next lesson-Surface Area: Students are to read over vocabulary words and their definitions(MSG) for-surface area, faces, edges, vertex(vertices),geometric shapes ;and the formulas for finding areas of various polygons(independent practice is important-students are continuing to use the wrong formulas and are unable to identify shapes). MSG pages 14 b,15a and 15 b are to be completed, videos on finding surface areas are on YouTube -Khans academy , Math Antics, Illuminations, etc. Surface areas of rectangular prisms, triangular prisms, cubes, triangular pyramids, square pyramids will be studied next week- In addition, the following IXL skills are to be completed:EE3,EE7,CC6,EE1,FF10 and FF24-outstanding IXL skills will be graded on Monday.
