Over the next couple of weeks, we will be studying geometry in math class. Yesterday, students learned the names of different types of angles and modelled them with their arms during a game of "Simon Says." It was a great way to incorporate some kinesthetic learning into our lesson. You can see an acute, a right, an obtuse, a straight, and a reflex angle in the pictures above.
The boys and girls in grade six are excited to learn how to use their protractors to accurately measure and draw angles. We will also explore the relationships of angles in triangles and quadrilaterals and discover some interesting mathematical principles. Finally, we will review the formula for area and perimeter of quadrilaterals and use this knowledge to create blueprints for a new local park.
Information about geometry can be found in Chapter 8 of the math textbook. If you are out and about with your son or daughter, take a moment to notice and name the angles in the environment around you!
