Today's classes

Today grade 7 looked at Statistics:Presenting data. We focussed our attention on The Circle graph. Students used proportional reasoning to calculate the measure of each central angle relating to the sector of data that they were presenting. They constructed the circle graph in their notebooks by using a pair of compass and a protractor. They will be allowed to practice this exercise on the computer in a later class.
Assignment was given and this should be signed and returned in tomorrow's class.

Grade six continued working on the multiplication of fractions and mixed numbers. We completed a multiplication fact worksheet and reviewed converting between improper fractions and mixed numbers. In tomorrows class we will complete a short quiz and start looking at Measurement and Geometry. Students were asked to do a mini research that will have them look up the items listed below:
  • Define a line, a ray, a line segment
  • Describe how each are named
  • Identify how many endpoints a line, a line segment and a ray has
  • Draw and name a line, a line segment and a ray.
This assignment should be ready for tommorrow's class.
