Today we looked at our machine webs and did some self and peer assessment making sure our work is thorough, and includes all the necessary aspects. Based on this reflection we set goals for our next steps in completing our webs. You will have about 20 more minutes in class to improve your webs, and the rest will need to be finished in your own time. They will be handed in as a part of your final project where you will "improve" your machine. Details to follow.
In Math we are shifting our focus towards 3D shapes, specifically working on finding the volume of cylinders and right triangular prisms.
We've started by talking in general about measurement (see picture below) and talking about the relationship between the area of the bottom of a prism and its height. Can you explain that relationship?
Next week we'll be focusing on calculating volume and surface area. To do that we need to review what we know from grade 7.
What do you know about:
- The area of triangles?
- The area of circles?
