The students in grade 6 have been making exciting discoveries about angles and triangles in math class recently. When everyone created a unique triangle and measured the three interior angles, we found out something very interesting. No matter the shape or size of the triangle, the three angles add up to 180 degrees every time! Students have also been putting their protractors and rulers to good use to create different kinds of triangles (check out the obtuse scalene above). They have even been using some spaghetti to help with this task!
We are now moving on to learn about area, perimeter and volume. This information is found in the second half of Chapter 8 in the math textbook. We will have a geometry test covering all of this information during the week of May 26th. This assessment will be an important part of the third term math mark.
As always, please contact me with any questions or concerns.
