This week in math the students continued to work on geometry skills. Students wrote a quiz that went home to be signed. They also worked on comparing triangles based on side length and angles, as well as finding and labelling parallel lines in polygons. The grade 6s began to learn how to use a compass to create triangles with specific side lengths. There will be a second geometry quiz next Friday that covers the same material as the first quiz, plus comparing triangles, identifying parallel lines, finding lines of symmetry and rotational symmetry.

This week the students finished two culminating tasks to wrap up our unit on overcoming challenges and learning from failure. Students finished both their paragraph and art piece on overcoming challenges. This work is now on display in the hall. Students continued their work in literature circles. I'm happy to see everyone engaged in their book and doing great accountable talk around their novel.
